The language of special responsibilities is ubiquitous in world
politics, with policymakers and commentators alike speaking and
acting as though particular states have, or ought to have, unique
obligations in managing global problems. Surprisingly, scholars are
yet to provide any in-depth analysis of this fascinating aspect of
world politics. This path-breaking study examines the nature of
special responsibilities, the complex politics that surround them
and how they condition international social power. The argument is
illustrated with detailed case-studies of nuclear proliferation,
climate change and global finance. All three problems have been
addressed by an allocation of special responsibilities, but while
this has structured politics in these areas, it has also been the
subject of ongoing contestation. With a focus on the United States,
this book argues that power must be understood as a social
phenomenon and that American power varies significantly across
security, economic and environmental domains.
