Despite the large number of regional and global summits there is
very little known about the functioning and impact of this
particular type of diplomatic practice. While recognizing that the
growing importance of summits is a universal phenomenon, this
volume takes advantage of the richness of the Americas experiment
to offer a theoretically grounded comparative analysis of
contemporary summitry. The book addresses questions such as: How
effective have summits been ? How have civil society and other
non-state actors been involved in summits? How have summits
impacted on the management of regional affairs? Filling a
significant void in the literature, this volume offers an original
contribution helping to understand how summitry has become a
central feature of world politics. It will be of great interest to
students and scholars of diplomacy, international organizations,
and global/regional governance.

This book analyzes the politics of global governance by looking at
how global policymaking actually works. It provides a comprehensive
theoretical and methodological framework which is systematically
applied to the study of three global policies drawn from recent UN
activities: the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in
2015, the institutionalization of the Human Rights Council from
2005 onwards, and the ongoing promotion of the protection of
civilians in peace operations. By unpacking the practices and the
values that have prevailed in these three cases, the authors
demonstrate how global policymaking forms a patchwork pervaded by
improvisation and social conflict. They also show how global
governance embodies a particular vision of the common good at the
expense of alternative perspectives. The book will appeal to
students and scholars of global governance, international
organizations and global policy studies.

Few notions are as universal as the idea of a left-right divide in
politics. Despite its death being frequently foretold, the
left-right metaphor remains the most common lens through which to
interpret political life locally, nationally and globally. Left and
Right in Global Politics argues that the left-right divide connects
these different levels into a world political debate. Interpreting
the left-right dichotomy as an enduring debate about equality, Noel
and Therien analyse opinion polls and social discourses to
demonstrate how this debate shapes both individual and collective
views of public affairs. Setting their findings in a historical
perspective, they then show that for more than two centuries the
conflict between progressives and conservatives has structured both
domestic and international politics. They conclude by discussing
the implications of their argument for the analysis of world
politics, and contend that the left-right opposition is here to
stay.
