Since they were pioneered in the 1970s by Robert Keohane and
others, the broad range of neoliberal institutionalist theories of
international relations have grown in importance. In an
increasingly globalized world, the realist and neorealist focus on
states, military power, conflict, and anarchy has more and more
given way to a recognition of the importance of nonstate actors,
nonmilitary forms of power, interdependence, international
institutions, and cooperation. Drawing together a group of leading
international relations theorists, this book explores the frontiers
of new research on the role of such forces in world politics.
The topics explored in these chapters include the uneven role of
peacekeepers in civil wars, the success of human rights treaties in
promoting women's rights, the disproportionate power of developing
countries in international environmental policy negotiations, and
the prospects for Asian regional cooperation. While all of the
chapters demonstrate the empirical and theoretical vitality of
liberal and institutionalist theories, they also highlight
weaknesses that should drive future research and influence the
reform of foreign policy and international organizations.
In addition to the editors, the contributors are Vinod
