Since 1995 the world experienced a period of significant advance
in international law, norms, and institutions. Progress was
particularly intense in the fields of global environment, human
security, cultural diversity, and human rights. This wave of
multilateral activity led to milestones such as the Kyoto Protocol
on climate change (1997), the landmine treaty, the International
Criminal Court, or the UNESCO Convention on cultural diversity.
Remarkably, most of these advances were not US-led, as in the past.
What caused such a burst in global institutions and who were the
key founding fathers?The book reveals the crucial roles played by
the European Union, Japan, and Canada (so-called 'Minervian
actors') in this fascinating period. It also reveals that they
acted with various partners and sub-state actors and with a variety
of motivations: they sometimes sought to balance against US
dominance; they engaged in normative work with global civil
society; or they sought to demonstrate international leadership to
their home audience.
