Within International Relations scholarship, the nature of
international organizations and their relationship with each other
and nation-states has been widely contested. This edited volume
brings together a team of experts to shed new light on
inter-organizational relations in world politics. The book covers
areas from the rule of law and international security to business
and sport. Through its analysis, it demonstrates that, just as
inter-organizations relations themselves are diverse and complex,
research on this topic should also be pluralistic in order to draw
new and valuable results and insights.
This book explores how the bedrock institution of today's global
order - sovereignty - is undergoing transformation as a result of
complex interactions between power and norms, between politics and
international law. This book analyses a series of controversial
military interventions into the internal affairs of "irresponsible
sovereigns" and discusses their consequences for the rules on the
use of force and the principle of sovereign equality. Featuring
case studies on Kosovo, Darfur and Afghanistan, It shows that
frames from one discourse (for example the debate over the
responsibility to protect) have been imported into other discourses
(on counter-terrorism and nuclear non-proliferation) in an attempt
to legitimize a bold challenge to the global legal order. Although
the 'demise' of sovereignty is widely debated, this book instead
seeks to 'deconstruct' sovereignty by explaining how this
institution has been reconstituted by global powers whose hegemonic
law-making activities have popularized the notion of sovereignty as
responsibility. Drawing on international relations theory,
international law and sociology, Sovereignty and the Responsibility
to Protect develops a truly interdisciplinary perspective on the
transformation of sovereignty and will be of strong interest to
students and scholars in these fields.

This book explores whether the co-existence of (partially)
overlapping and sometimes competing layers of authority, which
characterizes today's global order, undermines or rather
strengthens efforts to promote the rule of law on a global scale.
Heupel and Reinold argue that whether multi-level governance and
global legal pluralism have beneficial or detrimental effects on
the international rule of law depends on specific scope conditions.
Among these are the mobilization of powerful states and courts, as
well as the fit between soft law and hard law arrangements. The
volume comprises seven case studies written by International
Relations and International Law scholars. Bridging the gap between
political science and legal scholarship, the volume enables an
interdisciplinary perspective on the emergence of an international
rule of law. It also provides much needed empirical research on the
implications of multi-level governance and global legal pluralism
for the rule of law beyond the nation state.

In the discipline of International Relations, "power" has long been
equated with military or economic strength. In this book I argue
that we need a somewhat broader and more differentiated notion of
power that helps us understand how states exert influences over
outcomes in international relations. Although the notion of "soft
power" pops up in many recent works on U.S. foreign policy, no one
has so far undertook a systematic study on the workings of this
type of power. By applying this concept empirically to the wars
against Iraq in 1991 and 2003 I will show that soft power is not
only interesting as an analytical construct but that it is indeed
relevant for the conduct of foreign policy. Many commentators have
puzzled over why a state as "powerful" as the United States was
unable to achieve its preferred outcome in the 2003 Iraq war. This
book proposes an answer.
