Western liberal order is in a protracted process of transition.
There is no new hegemon willing or able to replace the United
States and to push for a redesign of the global governance
architecture from scratch. Emerging powers engage in global
cooperation in their own way and on their own terms. While there
seems to be a growing demand for effective global cooperation,
there are no longer universally applicable concepts to analyze it
nor a common language with which to describe it. Effective
Multilateralism makes the case for a new approach in order to
understand and explain global cooperation and collective action
juxtaposing the European concept of effective multilateralism with
the empirical reality of regional cooperation in East Asia. The
careful examination of East Asian cases leads to a better
understanding of the scope conditions of analytical frameworks of
multilateralism.
This book provides the first comparative treatment of the roles of
informal ad hoc groupings of states within selected conflict
settings and their effects on governance in and out of the UN
Security Council. Since the 1990s, informal institutions such as
groups of friends, and contact or core groups have proliferated as
instruments for the management of risk and conflict due to the
increasing demands on the UN Security Council to adapt to the new
post-cold war security environment. The perception of both the
capacity and limits of the Security Council has had a catalytic
effect on the creation of these ad hoc mechanisms. The substance of
conflict resolution and the process of its legitimation tend to
become increasingly detached, with the former being delegated to
informal groups or coalition of states, while the Security Council
provides the latter. The successful merger of right process and
substantive outcome may strengthen the legitimacy of the Council
and make actions taken by informal institutions more acceptable.
This book seeks to establish the importance of informal ad hoc
groupings of states in the making of peace. The dynamics between
informal institutions and the Security Council are closely examined
in the context of conflict resolution in Namibia, El Salvador, and
Kosovo. The study illustrates the changing role of the Council in
the maintenance of international peace and security. The
decentralization of tasks to informal groups allows the achievement
of policy goals that would be unattainable in the centralized
setting of formal international organizations. In effect, informal
institutions are agents of incremental change.
Existing theories of cooperation assume a stable geo-political
order, led by countries with a shared conception of the modalities
of cooperation. These assumptions are no longer justified.
Effective Multilateralism makes the case for a new approach to
explaining international cooperation through the lens of East
Asian.
