Why do states and international relations organizations
participate in the "global war on terrorism"? This book asks this
question within a broad framework, exploring the mechanisms and
causes for participation in global governance and taking
counterterrorism as a pertinent case. Challenging the assumption of
egalitarian structures of global governance, the author argues that
power relations and the use of power (influence, coercion and
force) play a more important role than previously suggested.
Providing a critical assessment of the counterterrorism policies of
EU, US and ASEAN, the book identifies a number of causes of
participation in hegemonic governance, including asymmetric
interdependence with the US, open and informal pressure in the case
of the EU, and the authority and legitimacy of the leading
actors.
