Living with a Reluctant Hegemon addresses a striking puzzle in
contemporary world politics: why have European states responded in
varying ways to recent unilateralist tendencies in US foreign
policy? The United States played a hegemonic leadership role in
building the post-war multilateral order but has been reluctant to
embrace many recent multilateral treaty initiatives championed by
its traditional European allies, such as the Kyoto Protocol on
climate change, the International Criminal Court, or the
verification protocol to the Biological Weapons Convention.
European responses to US objections, however, have varied across
these different transatlantic controversies. In some cases,
European decision-makers watered down or abandoned contested
treaties, whereas in other disputes, they opted for regime-building
excluding the US, that is, for a strategy of non-hegemonic
cooperation.
Recognition is a basic human need, but it is not a panacea to all societal ills. This volume assembles contributions from International Relations, Political Theory and International Law in order to show that recognition is a gradual process and an ambiguous concept both in theory and political practice.

This book studies the justice concerns of political actors in important international regimes and international and domestic conflicts and traces their effects on peace and conflict. The book demonstrates that such justice concerns play an ambivalent role for the resolution of conflicts and maintenance of order. While arrangements that actors perceive as just will provide a good basis for peaceful relations, the pursuit of justice can create conflicts or make existing ones more difficult to resolve. The Chapter "Justice from an Interdisciplinary Perspective: The Impact of the Revolution in Human Sciences on Peace Research and International Relations" by Harald Muller is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.
