Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. With contributions
from an international range of experts, this cutting-edge Research
Agenda collates the most important and emerging research in the
field to map out the new directions and promising paths ahead for
the international political economy (IPE). Probing the most
promising lines of research on the crucial inter-connections of
globalization and socioeconomic inequality, the book opens with an
investigation into our understanding of how externally generated
financial, health, and migration crises affect political economic
systems worldwide. Chapters explore fundamental changes in the
nature of IPE, including those driven by technology, power
transitions, the geography of trade, new foreign aid channels, and
economic espionage. Rethinking the future research agenda for IPE,
the book concludes by challenging the underlying ideas and
perspectives that shape the thinking and scholarship of the field.
Countering the deep-rooted western, white-male orientation of
traditional IPE research with the alternative perspectives of
decolonial and feminist ecological thinkers, this innovative
Research Agenda will prove invaluable to students, scholars and
policymakers concerned with the future of the international
political economy.
This book assesses the extent to which two specialized UN agencies
– the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London and the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal –
have been able to regulate environmental pollution in the global
commons. Since the Kyoto Protocol and its tasking of these two
public International Organizations (IOs) in 1997 to regulate
greenhouse gas emissions from the fast-growing international
shipping and aviation sectors, they have struggled with the
assignment even as the external pressure has mounted for them to
act. David Deese examines why these two UN agencies have largely
failed to execute their critical missions to date and explores the
most promising emerging and feasible routes to control and reduce
these emissions by other means. Drawing on a range of sources
including interviews with key actors in the IMO and ICAO, as well
as from industry and national governments, Deese looks at the
multifaceted politics that drive these IOs and considers how this
has delayed and frustrated the execution of their assigned climate
mitigation missions. He also explains how the limitations of the
IMO and ICAO are likely to be found to a degree in other UN
specialized agencies and examines how lessons learned here will be
helpful in understanding the operations of other IOs. The book will
be of great interest to students and scholars of global governance
and IOs, transport, and environment and climate change. It will
also be a useful resource for industry and non-profit experts and
public officials working in shipping and aviation regulation.
This book develops a new theoretical approach to understanding the
role of leadership in trade negotiations. By examining in detail
the key role of leadership in the GATT/WTO system, it offers new
insights into trade bargaining from the inception of the GATT
through to the current WTO Doha Round. David A. Deese makes use of
an impressive range and amount of primary material on the GATT/WTO
system from a variety of official sources. World Trade Politics
will be recommended reading for upper level undergraduate as well
as postgraduate and research students, and will be essential
reading for scholars of the global trade system.

Globalization: Causes and Effects is the culmination of an eleven
volume series that defines and explains the scholarly field of
International Relations. Highlighting primary scholarly
accomplishments in the field, this final title frames the sub-field
of 'Globalization' and documents the fundamental milestones in
thinking about and understanding this phenomenon. 'Globalization'
is ripe for work integrating a wide range of leading research
results and assessing its findings as a whole. Together, the
pioneering articles selected for this book represent the most
important scholarly contributions published to date on the main
dimensions of globalization. The majority of the authors are
political scientists, but a substantial number are economists,
sociologists and historians. The volume covers Forms, Origins, and
Causes; Political Dimensions and Implications; Economic and
financial Impacts; Identity, Culture, and Civilization; and The
Future of Globalization.
