This book is the first systematic scientific study of global
quasi-legislation. Taking public opinion and multilateral
agreements as the international equivalent to national election and
passing laws on the national scale, and extending nation-state
concepts to a global society, it analyzes citizens' preferences and
the state's willingness to enter into 120 multilateral treaties.
After identifying the links as a first step toward conceptualizing
quasi-legislative global politics, the book examines how each of
the 193 states manifests quasi-legislative behavior by
factor-analyzing six instrumental variables such as treaty
participation index and six policy domains of multilateral
treaties, including peace and trade. It then discusses global
change between 1989 and 2008, and conceptually and empirically
examines the three theories of global politics that originated
during that period: the theory of power transition, theory of
civilizational clash and theory of global legislative politics.
Lastly, it proposes a theory of global legislative politics.
Shedding fresh light on the transformative nature of multilateral
treaties, this book attracts researchers and students in political
philosophy, international law and international relations as well
as practitioners and journalists. Inoguchi and Le have developed a
genuinely original perspective on world politics, one that opens up
a new research agenda for thinking about state and global actors
simultaneously.-- Anne-Marie Slaughter, Bert G. Kerstetter '66
University Professor Emerita of Politics and International Affairs,
Princeton University This is one of those books that warrant a
global readership given its emphasis on the implied trust that we
invest in public institutions as viewed from an interdisciplinary
perspective. -- Richard J. Estes, Professor of Social Policy &
Practice, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This book is innovative and distinctive in carving out a new way to
look at "global legislative politics." I do not know of anything
that compares in this interesting and novel niche of international
relations analysis.-- William R. Thompson, Distinguished Professor
and Rogers Chair of Political Science Emeritus, Indiana University
This book attempts to develop a novel way of conceptualizing
regionalism under hyper-globalization. Until recently, regionalism
has been often framed in terms of economic interdependence and
security connectivity in which sovereign states are the key
navigators within the liberal world order. Under
hyper-globalization in the third millennium, hyper-globalization
forces us to capture global politics at two more levels of
measurement at the state level and both there below and there
above. First, how 29 Asian sovereign states join multilateral
treaty participation to develop their global quasi-legislative
types and how citizens' satisfaction with quality of life in 29
civil societies shapes their societal types. Second, relating these
two features above and below sovereign states, the book attempts to
measure the features and speculate on the futures of four Asian
regionalisms (Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and East
Asia) and their prospect of the demographically largest continent
called Asia in the twenty-first century. Regionalism is measured by
the proclivity of 600 multilateral treaty participation in terms of
speed (cautious versus agile), angle (global commons versus
individual interests) and strategy (aspirational bonding versus
mutual binding), whereas quality of life is measured by citizens'
satisfaction with 16 domains, aspects and styles of individual
daily life in terms of survival (or materialism), social relations
(post-materialism) and public policy preponderance. The book opens
an innovative vista to better understand tumultuous global
politics. This ambitious volume leverages original survey data on
citizen satisfaction and country-level data on treaty accessions to
characterize the trajectories of countries in four regions of Asia
as they adapt -- or fail to adapt -- to the challenges of
globalization in the 21st century and beyond. Readers will learn
much about politics from the basic level of the individual citizen
to the most comprehensive level of the global system - and about
the interactions of politics at all levels. -- Andrew J. Nathan,
Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science, Columbia University A
wonderful attempt to link a country's domestic development and its
adaptation to the global politics. It is truly eye-opening and the
findings are likely to significantly shape our understanding of
life and global politics. -- Zhengxu Wang, Ph.D. Distinguished
Professor, Department of Political Science, Fudan University
This book is a rarity in that it opens a genuinely creative new
vista for understanding global politics as distinguished from
international politics, enhancing the vision for understanding
global subjects such as multilateral treaties and the Covid-19
virus. Six hundred multilateral treaties deposited in the UN are
conceptualized as a bundle of quasi-social contracts by sovereign
states. A state's participation in multilateral treaties is
envisaged as digitized statecraft. Using a state's physical actions
and treaties' attributes, 193 profiles of statecraft are analyzed
with the implications for the future of global politics. This book
demonstrates that multilateral treaties are both a vehicle and an
agency in the globalization trend; thus, both state and
international actors influence a state's joining multilateral
treaties. The book represents a marriage of international law and
applied information science. It provides a framework for empirical
modeling based on artificial intelligence and analyzes this
framework in terms of international law and international
relations. This book thus creates a new understanding of global
politics.
