How is the world organized politically? How should it be organized?
What forms of political organization are required to deal with such
global challenges as climate change, terrorism or nuclear
proliferation? Drawing on work in international law, international
relations and global governance, this book provides a clear and
wide-ranging introduction to the analysis of global political
order--how patterns of governance and institutionalization in world
politics have already changed; what the most important challenges
are; and what the way forward might look like.
The first section develops three analytical frameworks: a world of
sovereign states capable of only limited cooperation; a world of
ever-denser international institutions embodying the idea of an
international community; and a world in which global governance
moves beyond the state and into the realms of markets, civil
society and networks. Part II examines five of the most important
issues facing contemporary international society: nationalism and
the politics of identity; human rights and democracy; war, violence
and collective security; the ecological challenge; and the
management of economic globalization in a highly unequal world.
Part III considers the idea of an emerging multi-regional system;
and the picture of global order built around US empire. The
conclusion looks at the normative implications. If international
society has indeed been changing in the ways discussed in this
book, what ought we to do? And, still more crucially, who is the
'we' that is to be at the centre of this drive to create a morally
better world?
This book is concerned with the fate of international society in
an era of globalization andthe ability of the inherited society of
sovereign states to provide a practically viable and normatively
acceptable framework for global political order. It lays particular
emphasis on the different forms of global inequality and the
problems of legitimacy that these create and on the challenges
posed by cultural diversity and value conflict.
