The legitimacy of global institutions which address security
challenges is in question. The manner in which they make decisions
and the interests they reflect often falls short of twenty-first
century expectations and norms of good governance. And their
performance has raised doubts about their ability to address
contemporary challenges such as civil wars, weapons of mass
destruction, terrorism, and the use of military force in
international politics.
This book explores the sources of this challenge to
multilateralism - including US pre-eminence, the changing nature of
international security, and normative concerns about the way
decisions are taken in international organizations. It argues that
whilst some such challenges are a sign of 'crisis', many others are
representative of 'normality' and continuity in international
relations. Nevertheless, it is essential to consider how
multilateralism might be more viably constituted to cope with
contemporary and future demands.
Addressing topical issues, such as the war against Iraq in 2003
and terrorism, and presenting provocative arguments, A Crisis in
Global Institutions? will have broad appeal amongst specialist
readers interested in international relations, security and
international organizations as well as students generally.
