Liverpool University Press Two Irelands beyond the Sea: Ulster Unionism and
Book SynopsisTwo Irelands beyond the Sea: Ulster Unionism and America, 1880-1920 uncovers the transnational movement by Ireland’s unionists as they worked to maintain the Union with Great Britain during the Home Rule era of Irish history. Overshadowed by Irish-American nationalist relations in this era, this transnational movement attempted to bridge the Atlantic to gain support for unionism from the United States. During the Home Rule era, unionists were anxious about Irish-American extremism, apprehensive of American involvement in the Irish question, and eager sought support for their own movement. Two Irelands beyond the Sea explores the political, social, religious, and ethnic connections between Irish unionists and the United States as unionists appealed to Americans for backing and reacted to Irish nationalism. The role of the United States in unionist political thought is also investigated, as unionists used American history, political systems, and Scotch-Irish ethnic traditions to bring legitimacy to their own movement. This examination drives the historical study of Irish unionism into a new arena, illustrating that Irish unionists were much more internationally-focused than traditionally portrayed. Two Irelands beyond the Sea challenges our understanding of Irish unionism by revealing the many ways in which unionists reached out to the United States, sought international support, and constructed their own image of America to legitimize the unionist movement.Trade ReviewReviews 'An original, well-researched analysis of the key elements in the relationship between Irish unionists and the US from the 1880s to partition. This book will not only be a major contribution to the historiography of unionism, but also to the literature on Irish America.' Professor Andrew Wilson, Loyola University Chicago

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Middle Powers and International Organisations:
Book SynopsisThis book provides a unique examination of how a middle power uses international organisations to achieve greater global influence. The authors focus on the OECD, 'the rich man's club' of most of the world's wealthiest nations. It demonstrates how the decision by Australia to apply for membership was a long drawn out process, delayed by political factors. Eventually agreement was reached with assurances that membership would provide access to valuable and timely policy-related information, especially in relation to international trade and finance. In addition, membership would potentially increase influence by providing greater access to its powerful member states at an earlier stage in their policy discussions and agreements. On gaining membership, Australia found that the OECD's comparative research and policy development activities, across a wide range of areas and issues, were a valuable source for policy learning which, in turn, helped the ongoing maintenance and further building of policy capacity in the country. This detailed study of how a nation state engages with an international organisation will be a great source of insight and information for scholars and advanced students of international relations and public policy. It will also be a valuable resource for policymakers and practitioners working in the field.Trade Review'This book is a tour de force. It helps us understand international organisations and their member states. It casts fresh light on the OECD. It reveals how middle powers like Australia manoeuvre on the world stage, and it traces the evolution of key global public policies, from taxation to the environment. It does this seamlessly, with grace and economy, drawing on rich archival materials (from the UK, the US, Australia and the OECD), and extensive interviews.' --Leslie A.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on Mediating International
Book SynopsisCurrent conceptions of mediation can often fail to capture the complexity and intricacy of modern conflicts. This Research Handbook addresses this problem by presenting the leading expert opinions on international mediation, examining how international mediation practices, mechanisms and institutions should adapt to the changing characteristics of contemporary international crises. Chapters consider the challenges facing the international community when aiming to achieve lasting resolutions in intrastate and interstate conflicts during acute periods of crisis and potential or actual violence escalation. The authors also provide much-needed context for 'gray zone conflict', the actions of non-state actors, gender dynamics and biases that hinder mediation. The ever-expanding role of mediation means authors also cover human security, climate diplomacy and cyber disputes. Using extensive analysis of salient cases as well as quantitative studies of aggregate trends, this Research Handbook is the vital reference work for mediation in contemporary international politics. The concluding chapter explores the overarching themes and key policy recommendations from the leading voices in mediation. An essential reference for postgraduate researchers of international politics, this Research Handbook provides both quantitative and qualitative analysis to further case knowledge for research. In addition, the case studies and concluding chapter will be a much-needed resource for policymakers and practitioners in defence policy and peace advocacy due to their emphasis on lessons learned and best practice.Contributors include: P.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd China's Rise and Australia–Japan–US Relations:
Book SynopsisThe future of American leadership in the Asia-Pacific under the Trump administration appears uncertain. In this timely book, Michael Heazle and Andrew O?Neil have brought together contributors from across the globe to explore the commitment of Australia and Japan to US leadership in this region, and how this commitment may impact on often tense relations between China and the US. China's Rise and Australia?-Japan?-US Relations discusses the strategic post-war presence of American leadership in Asia, and examines the influence on the region?s geopolitics. This book allows readers to understand how and why China is challenging this external engagement, and conversely why Australia and Japan want to maintain a commitment to US input; their perceptions of American leadership are critical indicators of the prospects for change in the region. This is a vital book for security and international relations scholars, researchers and experts, as it provides detailed analyses of current relations between countries in the Asia Pacific and the US, as well as giving a thorough look into what the future is likely to hold in terms of US commitment in the region.Contributors include: Z. Cooper, I. Hall, R. Hanada, M. Heazle, V. Jackson, R. Kersten, S. Lee, S. Mori, A. O'Neil, M. Rapp-Hooper, R. SahashiTrade Review'This book addresses many of the critical issues confronting contemporary international relations in the Asia-Pacific, including the origins, nature, and development of the region's US led ''rule-based'' order; the future of the hub and spokes alliance system; and in particular the growing importance of ''spoke to spoke'' security cooperation between Japan and Australia and other US partners at a time of growing uncertainty over Washington's regional engagement. I strongly recommended this book to anyone interested in not only better understanding Australia-Japan-US relations, but also the Asia-Pacific security order and its future.' --Tomohiko Satake, National Institute for Defense Studies, Japan'This is a much needed and serious analysis of the stabilising role of the United States in the Asia Pacific region. That role in maintaining the regional balance of power is as important now as it has ever been. Australia's place as one of America's key allies in the region is an important piece of the jigsaw of regional architecture and it needs to continue to play that part with confidence and certainty. Above all, Australia needs to make its role clear and unequivocal and not be deflected by arguments that it should downgrade its part in upholding the US presence in the region.' --Alexander Downer, AC, Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and formerly Foreign Minister of Australia from 1996 to 2007'In the midst of growing uncertainty about US primacy and commitment in the Asia-Pacific, this timely volume assembles an impressive collection of prominent Australian, Japanese, and US experts to focus on how two of America's very most important allies are grappling with the emergent regional order. With rich scholarly analysis and policy insights, the authors rightly foresee the need for Canberra and Tokyo to recalibrate their expectations about the United States, while still doing all they can with Washington and other key partners to shoulder the burden of preserving the rules-based security and economic order which has so greatly benefitted the region. Policymakers and scholars alike-in Australia, Japan and beyond-should read this book to understand how US allies are looking to navigate between a rising China on the one hand and uncertain America leadership on the other.' --Bates Gill, Macquarie University, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Preface Part I US Leadership in a Liberal East Asian Order 1.

Book SynopsisInternational Law provides a comprehensive theoretical examination of the key areas of international law. In addition to classic cases and materials, Carlo Focarelli addresses the latest relevant international practice to illustrate contemporary themes and trends in international law and to examine its most topical challenges. The key features of this textbook include: A unitary - 'systemic' and 'realist-constructivist' theoretical illustration of international law, essential to an understanding of how international law works in practice and can, or should be changed A clear logical structure and thorough cross-referencing, for accessible, systemic and consistent learning Up-to-date bibliographies at the end of each chapter and academic commentary on the very latest cases, covering all aspects of international law. Insightful and topical, this textbook will be an invaluable teaching resource for students of law, political science, and international relations. 'Carlo Focarelli's textbook aims to achieve theoretical cohesiveness about international law as a system and yet at the same time emphasises the importance of state practice, not just the practice of courts but also diplomatic practice more widely. What is particularly welcome is the book's aim to familiarise readers outside Italy with international legal thinking and state practice from an important European country that for centuries has been a significant contributor to the discourse of international law. This unique approach reflects well the contemporary trend for studying international law from comparative perspectives and will make the book a valuable read for students interested in international law.' - Lauri Mälksoo, University of Tartu, EstoniaTrade Review'Offering a cohesive vision of international law through a systemic, realist-constructivist approach, Carlo Focarelli's International Law makes an important contribution to the list of international law treatises.' --Charlotte Ku, Texas A&M University, School of Law, US'Italian doctrine has given invaluable contributions to international law discussion.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The European Union and the Geopolitics of the
Book Synopsis'Andreas Raspotnik's book is a well-written history of the European Union's struggle for recognition in the Arctic; a struggle underpinned by attempts to define what the Circumpolar North means for the EU. Raspotnik adopts the lens of critical geopolitics, which proves very productive in terms of capturing the character of the EU-Arctic nexus. The Union is revealed as a reluctant geopolitical actor, as inherent EU drive to be present in a neighboring region interplays with the lack of genuine interest.'- Timo Koivurova, University of Lapland, Finland 'In spite of an interpretation that the European Union is 'no geopolitical actor' from the critical approach, the Union clearly impacts (Arctic) geopolitics in the fields of climate and environmental policies, fisheries and science, and benefits from the high geopolitical stability of the Arctic. This book is an informative study and in-depth analysis on European geopolitical agency in a distinct spatiotemporal context, the early-21st century's Arctic, and the EU's process to (re)construct European legitimacy there. Next step is to analyze, if the EU tries to influence the discourse on how to use (govern) the land and waters, as well as resources, of the Arctic.'- Lassi Heininen, University of Lapland, Finland The Arctic is a region that has seen exponential growth as a space of geopolitical interest over the past decade. This insightful book is the first to analyse the European Union?s Arctic policy endeavours of the early 21st Century from a critical geopolitical perspective.Exploring the EU?s decade-long undertaking to construct legitimacy in the Arctic between 2008 and 2017, Andreas Raspotnik investigates whether the EU can figure prominently in the Artic region as an international actor. This book presents the EU?s interest in the Arctic as a fascinating test case for how the EU aims to assert its policies and values in a neighbouring region. By providing an in-depth analysis of the EU?s process to establish legitimacy and credibility in the Arctic, Andreas Raspotnik sheds light on the debate regarding whether or not the EU can be perceived as a geopolitical actor.This contemporary and intriguing book will appeal to scholars and students of international relations, European studies, geography, and Arctic studies, as well as those on courses relating to international organizations and global/regional politics. It will also be of interest to the broader public with an interest in the challenges and opportunities of the Arctic region.Trade Review'Andreas Raspotnik has provided a clear-eyed assessment of the successes and failures of EU policy with regards to the Arctic. In doing so, he has established himself as one of the most exciting young scholars in both EU and Arctic studies.' --Michael Byers, University of British Columbia, Canada and author of International Law and the Arctic'Many recent books about international relations in the Arctic pretend to be about geopolitics - this one actually is. The book is well-researched, and Raspotnik provides a refreshing take on how the Arctic appeared on the European Union's ''neighbourhood radar''.' --Geir Honneland, Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Norway'In his book, The European Union and the Geopolitics of the Arctic, Andreas Raspotnik skilfully excavates and interrogates the European Union's Arctic policies and strategies. The EU multi-faceted relationship with the High North is teased out - it cares about climate change, sustainability, governance, transport and economic opportunity, indigenous peoples and their rights as well as animal welfare. Love it or loath it, the EU's impact in the Arctic matters and this book explains how, why and where.' --Klaus Dodds, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK and co-author of The Scramble for the Poles (Polity 2016)Table of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION 1.

The chapters explore key new areas of research, including critical emotion and critical animal studies and draws on Marxist, poststructuralist, feminist, realist and post-colonial backgrounds to frame this research. Structured in four thematic parts, the Handbook of Critical International Relations moves from discussing approaches and emancipation, concepts and configuration, and political economy and domination, to global trajectories and challenges. Its emphasis on non-Western IR viewpoints, offers cutting-edge insights into the notion of otherness, the dialectics of authoritarian neoliberalism, and agonistic recognition. Graduate and undergraduate IR scholars will benefit from the solid, working understanding of critical IR offered in the detailed chapters on the varied approaches, concepts and new areas of research in the field. Critical IR research institutions and policy-makers will also appreciate the discussion of, and advice offered on, key issues and challenges facing democracy and justice. Contributors include: A.D.

Schick, S.C. Tauber, B. Thirkell-WhiteTrade Review'As a broad disciplinary descriptor, critical international relations says both too much and too little. That said, Roach and his collaborators have performed a great service. This is a strong collection of synoptic chapters, treating key developments in the field with seriousness and erudition. Readers seeking entry into a complex, contested literature, or seeking to broaden or update their intellectual horizons, will find it invaluable.' --Daniel J. Levine, The University of Alabama, US'Critical theory is under siege from challenges to its alleged Eurocentrism and from national-populist movements to any notion of global emancipation. How should critical theory deal with those assaults and what form should future versions take? This volume reconsiders critical, emancipatory thought in the context of radical political change and concerns about the future of international cooperation. All students of critical theory will profit from engaging with its wide-ranging and scholarly reflections on a leading perspective in international relations over the last four decades.' --Andrew Linklater, Aberystwyth University, UK'This important volume provides an array of theoretical interventions, critical perspectives, thought-provoking analyses, and innovative assessments on contemporary aspects of international relations. Showcasing the work of cutting-edge and diverse scholars in international relations, the Handbook of Critical International Relations brings the reader in contact with key theoretical arguments, necessary methodological debates, and everyday practices in international politics. For scholars and students eager to understand what critical international relations is and does, this Handbook is a must read.' --François Debrix, Virginia Tech, USTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the Handbook of Critical International Relations 1 Steven C.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd De-Centering State Making: Comparative and
Book SynopsisState making has long been regarded as a European development, both historically and geographically. In this innovative book, the authors add fresh insights into the nature and causes of state making by de-centering this Eurocentric viewpoint through simultaneous changes of conceptual, theoretical and empirical focus. De-Centering State Making combines knowledge from comparative politics and international relations, creating a more holistic perspective that moves away from the widespread idea that state making and war are intrinsically linked. The book uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to examine historical and contemporary cases of state making as well as non-European ones, providing an in-depth analysis of the nature and causes of state making, historically as well as in a modern, global environment. This timely book is an invaluable read for international relations and comparative politics scholars. It will also greatly benefit those teaching advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on state making as it provides a fresh take on the art of state making in a modern world.Contributors include: J. Bartelson, A. Björkdahl, C. Butcher, A. Goenaga, R. Griffiths, J. Grzybowski, M. Hall, J.K. Hanson, A. Learoyd, E. Ravndal, T. Svensson, J. Teorell, A. von Hagen-JamarTrade Review'Though the emergence and evolution of state sovereignty is a central concern for the discipline of international relations, until recently there were very few studies that explored this phenomenon outside of Europe in a comparative manner. De-Centering State Making more than fills this gap. This expertly edited volume brings together an impressive array of contributors to advance our understanding of modern state making around the world to a whole other level.' --Ayse Zarakol, University of Cambridge, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Americanization of European Union Democracy
Book SynopsisThe Americanization of European Union Democracy Promotion: Ideology, Diversity, and United States Hegemony is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the origins, development and growing prominence of international democracy promotion in the past hundred years.Building upon the vast literature on the topic, chapters look at the EU as a global governance actor and map its multilevel governance system in democracy promotion, contextualising and comparing this with the United States hegemonic design, which has become a fundamental instrument of national foreign policy in the past two decades. Creating a comprehensive understanding of the similarities and differences between the EU and US approaches, José M. Magone examines various EU models of democracy, analysing how different national democracy understandings in Europe coexist with the technocratic liberal European one. The book ultimately argues that since 2004 the EU has aligned with a more aggressive ideological US hegemonic model of democracy promotion that has its roots in Wilsonian international liberalism.Considering the pivotal role of the United States’ hegemonic design on EU democracy promotion, this book will be invaluable to students and scholars of international relations, European and US politics, global governance and democratization. It will also prove vital for policymakers looking into the role the EU could play in strengthening non-national global governance in the long run.Trade Review‘This original and provocative study enlightens us not just about democracy promotion but about policy diffusion and Europe’s most important institution. It is an ideal blend of sophistication and accessibility and deserves a wide audience.’ -- Nancy Bermeo, University of Oxford, UK‘Professor Magone's excellent new book analyzes the EU's gradual abandonment of its neutral democracy promotion policy. Magone rightly claims that the only way forward is a new form of democracy promotion that is truly neutral, pluralistic, and respectful of the democratization efforts of the EU's neighbors. This compelling book is a must read for policymakers and scholars alike.’ -- Morten Heiberg, University of Copenhagen, DenmarkA valuable roadmap of European democracy promotion as a multilevel governance system, critiquing its evolution from an overly technocratic approach towards an American model driven by US security: the former’s failure in Tunisia, and the latter’s involvement in war in Ukraine, provide a highly topical, thought-provoking read.' -- Peter Burnell, University of Warwick, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1 Introduction: the multilevel governance of the European Union’s democracy promotion 2 Exploring the models of democracy in the European Union 3 The European Union as a global governance actor 4 The origins of global democracy promotion: the pivotal role of the United States 5 The European Union as a global actor: the case of international democracy promotion 6 European multilevel governance in international democracy promotion: the European dimension 7 The European multilevel governance of international democracy promotion: the national dimension 8 European Union democracy promotion in the Mediterranean: failing in Tunisia 9 The Americanization of EU democracy promotion in wider Europe: the pitfalls of Wilsonian democratism in Ukraine 10 Conclusions: the Wilsonian turn of EU democracy promotion Bibliography Index

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd EU–Turkey Relations: A New Direction for EU
Book SynopsisThis insightful book analyses EU foreign policy vis-a-vis Turkey over the last institutional cycle, uncovering how its internal functioning and structural context affects the decisions made by the EU, in both day-to-day and crisis situations. It reconstructs and interprets EU--Turkey relations since 2014, arguing that Turkey has, overall, become a key strategic partner to the EU.Acknowledging that EU enlargement policy is part of a broader foreign policy framework, which also includes other domains such as the external dimension of migration and CFSP, Elena Baracani adopts a unique approach, combining more actor-oriented factors with structural factors to analyse EU--Turkey relations. Special features include the use of first-hand empirical material, an introduction to the concept of different shades of EU foreign policy, and a new, comprehensive evaluation of EU foreign policy actorness.Original and perceptive, EU--Turkey Relations will be of special interest to scholars and students in the field of EU studies and foreign policy, who are looking to further their understanding of the foreign policy contributions of different institutions and bureaucratic actors.Trade Review‘This book provides a very useful, fine-grained analysis of the EU’s policy vis-a-vis Turkey. The latter does not get reduced to a couple of variables, but is analysed in its complexity, driven by various institutional actors and influenced by a multi-level structural context. Based on different theoretical perspectives and extended original empirical research, this book contributes to a better understanding of EU-Turkey relations and why they have been so challenging over the last years.’ -- Tom Casier, University of Kent, UK'This is an important contribution to the EU foreign policy making process with a focus on the interplay of different layers of decision-making and the key actors involved. It should appeal to a broad audience and especially to those who would like to learn more about the European perspectives on the complex and important relationship involving Turkey and the EU.' -- - Ziya Onis, Koc University, TurkeyTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Japan, the European Union and Global Governance
Book SynopsisThis timely book explores the relationship between Japan and the European Union as they work increasingly closely together in many areas of global governance. It discusses the most salient areas of such cooperation from a range of perspectives, while examining not just convergences but also differences.Written by experts from both Europe and Japan, interdisciplinary chapters investigate both actors' current approaches to global governance and multilateralism as well as providing a historical perspective on their bilateral relations. The book explores their cooperation in areas stretching from trade and finance to security in light of the recent EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement and Strategic Partnership Agreement. Offering insights into their current relationship, it outlines challenges for the future, and draws relevant lessons from the history of global governance in Asia and Europe.Scholars of Asian and European law with an interest in international governance and regulation, and particularly those working in EU-Japan affairs, will find this a significant and stimulating read. It will also be useful for policy-makers in the EU and Japan working in international security, trade, and economic, monetary and financial policy.Trade Review‘For anyone interested in understanding power politics and what is happening in the world, this book is good background reading on a relationship that has become more important to global governance not only in the field of economics and trade but also when it comes to other issues such as security and international politics.’ -- Journal of Japanese Studies'In the rapidly changing landscape of the world power constellation, this book presents the state of play of the liberal democratic world, focusing on Japan and the EU. One author concludes: ''While certainly multilateralism is not thrown overboard, it is complemented with bilateral forms of cooperation. The EU-Japan partnership is a good example indeed.'' It traces Japan-EU relations, in particular focusing on the Economic Partnership Agreement (entered into force in 2019), and the Strategic Partnership Agreement (at the provisional application stage).' -- Takako Ueta, Kagawa University and Sophia University, Japan, and former Ambassador, Deputy Chief of the Mission of Japan to the EU'Anyone who wishes to know more about the dynamics between the EU and Japan across a range of issues areas should find this book a welcome addition to the literature. Clearly documenting how the European Union enhances its economic and strategic partnerships at the bilateral and multilateral level in an increasingly contested global order, the book highlights the evolving relationship with Japan as they both seek to contain China's quest for cross-regional influence, fill the void of American leadership, and foster strategic bilateral cooperation across key policy goals. While specific chapters focus on economic cooperation highlighting mutual agreement on data flows, climate bonds, and non-tariff trade barriers, the authors conclude that there is no guarantee whether these agreements will achieve their stated objectives. Such enhancement of broader foreign policy goals and commitments is also critical at the multilateral level where several chapters assess the prospects for EU and Japan to enhance global cooperation when faced with increased dissatisfaction with the performance and power structures of global institutions leading to the expansion of alternative modes of global governance. Drawing on research in law, politics and economics, the focus on the evolving EU-Japan partnership provides some comparative lessons to determine how their respective norms and commitments can provide an important counterweight to challenges to global governance and the liberal international order if they can operationalize their ambitious strategic partnership to shape evolving markets, rules, rights regimes.' -- Michelle Egan, American University, US'Japan, the European Union and Global Governance provides a timely and empirically rich assessment of the EU-Japan relationship. It presents an excellent resource for students and scholars who wish to gain a deeper insight into the dynamics of the bilateral EU and Japan relationship but also into their collective commitment to international cooperation and effective multilateralism. Leading experts from Europe and Japan offer legal, economic and security insights, and in doing so they succeed in putting this salient EU-Japan relationship in the necessary historical, political and international context. A must-read for foreign policy, area studies or international relations scholars with an interest in Europe and Asia.' -- Heidi Maurer, University of Bristol, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook on Intervention and Statebuilding
Book SynopsisThis innovative Handbook offers a new perspective on the cutting-edge conceptual advances that have shaped - and continue to shape - the field of intervention and statebuilding.Bringing together leading global scholars, the Handbook on Intervention and Statebuilding offers a cross-cutting perspective on a wide array of themes. Chapters cover democracy promotion, transitional justice and humanitarianism, as well as the involvement of drones and cyber technology in conflicts. Employing state-of-the-art perspectives on the most crucial themes, this Handbook explores issues at the heart of contemporary statebuilding.This Handbook will be critical reading for researchers at all levels in the broad field of international relations and peace and conflict studies. Upper-level students of political science will also benefit from the breadth of topics covered.Trade Review‘Starting from the premise that international statebuilding efforts over the past three decades have relied on flawed theoretical assumptions and failed to achieve many of their objectives, this Handbook is a cornucopia of critical analyses and perspectives. With an emphasis on peace and conflict, it encompasses a wide array of international interventions where statebuilding is a component, like peacebuilding, military intervention, counterinsurgency, security sector reform, civilian protection, transitional justice, development and humanitarian action.’Table of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the Handbook on Intervention and Statebuilding: moving beyond the current orthodoxy 1 Nicolas Lemay-Hébert 2 Intervention and statebuilding beyond the human 10 David Chandler 3 Knowledge, expertise and the politics of intervention and statebuilding 19 Berit Bliesemann de Guevara and Roland Kostić 4 Post-conflict reconstruction, the local, and the Indigenous 30 Elisa Randazzo 5 Data in the context of intervention and statebuilding 41 Isabel Rocha de Siqueira 6 The ambiguity of statebuilding 50 Florian P.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Linking EU Climate and Energy Policies:
Book SynopsisBased on an innovative theoretical framework combining theories of EU policy making, negotiation and implementation, this comprehensive book examines EU climate and energy policies from the early 1990s until the adoption of new policies for 2030. The authors investigate how the linking of climate and energy concerns in policy packages has facilitated agreement among EU leaders with very different policy ambitions. Employing in-depth studies from a diverse range of energy-economic countries, the book also explores the impact of the implementation of policies on the climate and energy policy framework and the Energy Union initiative.Social scientists and researchers in EU climate and energy policies will find the new empirical data and theoretical approach useful to their work. Students of the social sciences and politics will also benefit from the accessible overview of EU climate and energy policy development. This book will also be of interest to private and public decision-makers looking for explanations for the causes and consequences of EU climate and energy policy development.Trade Review'This book not only provides an in-depth analysis of the recent development of EU climate and energy policy from the climate and energy package for 2020 to the climate and energy policy framework for 2030, it is also noteworthy for its skilful and innovative combination of EU and member state level analysis across a full policy cycle covering policy initiation, decision-making, implementation and policy reform. Recommended reading!' --Sebastian Oberthuer, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium'In Europe, climate and energy policies have become inextricably intertwined in the minds of politicians, businesses and civil society organisations. This ambitious book offers a 360 degree analysis of the interlinking strategies designed and employed by policy makers at EU level and in four critically important member states. In doing so it offers a richly textured answer to a puzzle that has always perplexed analysts: how and why do states manage to adopt policies that are significantly at odds with the preferences of the least ambitious?' --Andrew Jordan, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, UK'This book is one that all scholars, students and citizens with any interest in EU environmental and energy politics will benefit from reading and re-reading.' --Local EnvironmentTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Research Agenda for Climate Justice
Book SynopsisElgar 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. Climate change will bring great suffering to communities, individuals and ecosystems. Those least responsible for the problem will suffer the most. Justice demands urgent action to reverse its causes and impacts. In this provocative new book, Paul G. Harris brings together original essays to explore innovative approaches to understanding and implementing climate justice in the future. Through investigations informed by theories from philosophy, politics, sociology, law and economics, this Research Agenda reveals the actors most responsible for climate change and suggests concrete proposals for more effective mitigation. Addressing the distribution of scarce resources and the disproportionate responsibility of affluent nations and people, this insightful book asserts that climate change is a matter of equity, fairness and social and distributive justice. It argues that climate change is shaping up to be the greatest injustice in all of human history. This analytical and thought-provoking Research Agenda will be a valuable tool for climate change researchers while its interdisciplinary approach will appeal to students and academics researching in the fields of global environmental politics, sustainability, international relations, environmental philosophy and law. The examination of the key questions of climate justice from global through to individual levels will also aid policy-makers, practitioners and activists. Contributors include: R. Attfield, I.

Wallimann-Helmer Trade Review'In his introduction to A Research Agenda for Climate Justice, Paul Harris says that it is not far-fetched to suggest that climate change is becoming the greatest injustice ever perpetrated in all human history. He may well be right. Yet how do we get others - and in democracies, a majority of voters - to see it this way? The contributors to this book not only show, from their different perspectives, why climate change is an injustice, but also take steps towards answering that question.' --Peter Singer, Princeton University, US'What should we do? Better to start with: What should we not do? The answer: Most of what we are now doing. This demands provocative, innovative research. The contributors in this exceptional volume consider future generations, effective policies, rich and poor, wealth vs. welfare, wild creatures, technology, degrowth, risks, rights, refugees, individuals in nations, large and small. There is no better analysis of the prospects of failure and success in climate justice.' --Holmes Rolston III, Colorado State University, US'Paul Harris has assembled a collection that examines important lingering questions in climate justice but also plots a new course for research in the field. Harris and his contributors explore how climate justice might be more broadly conceptualized and effectively advanced, extending the field's focus well beyond the questions about burden-sharing among nation-states that dominated its first decade.' --Steven Vanderheiden, University of Colorado, Boulder, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface ix 1 Climate justice: the urgent research agenda(s) 1 Paul G.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Commons and a New Global Governance
Book Synopsis'Whereas the existing literature generally studies small-scale commons, this challenging book boldly - and successfully - engages in extrapolating this cooperation-based governance model to global resources. From democratic perspectives to institutional construction, its many contributions, written by prominent scholars in the field of commons or international law, critically introduce and renew the radical notion of commons and collective action by citizens, as vehicles for democratization, in global governance and international public law.'- Séverine Dusollier, Sciences Po Law School, France'Can we devise new systems of law and governance to support commons at the global level? This thoughtful collection of essays explores how we might address this vital challenge for humanity in the years ahead.'- David Bollier, Schumacher Center for a New Economics, USGiven the new-found importance of the commons in current political discourse, it has become increasingly necessary to explore the democratic, institutional and legal implications of the commons for global governance today. This book analyses and explores the ground-breaking model of the commons and its relation to these debates. Featuring original contributions from renowned scholars across the globe and analysis of Elinor Ostrom's fundamental work, this interdisciplinary book is organized into three main areas of inquiry: the commons as vehicles for the democratization of global governance, the role played by commons-based institutions in global governance and a more normative interrogation around what international law ought to look like to support the commons. Provocative and critical ideas about the current system of global governance act as a stimulus to explore further research and activism in the commons.The first of its kind to offer a specific focus on the commons and global governance, this much-needed book will prove invaluable for academics in the humanities and social sciences including economists, political philosophers, political scientists and legal scholars. It will also appeal to policy-makers, concerned members of civil society and commons activists.Contributors include: M. Bauwens, M. Beerkens, C. Boonen, N. Brando, J. Brunnée, S. Cogolati, C.

Here we find an exploration of a framework that can replace neoliberal global governance and empower the many.' --Massimo De Angelis, University of East London, UK'The time has come for researchers and scientists to focus their efforts on potential global governance mechanisms for the commons, existing or to come. This is precisely what has inspired this volume and why it should be considered a significant milestone in the study of the commons at the global level.' --Michel Bauwens, founder of the Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives'The insights provided in this book based on research by ''commons-thinkers'' will not just make it easier to connect to ''commons-analysers'' but also to the ''commons-doers'', who are demanding a better understanding of what they are actually putting into practice, on a daily basis.' --Tine De Moor, Utrecht University and former President of the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC) (2015 17)Table of ContentsContents: Foreword Michel Bauwens Introduction 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Human Security and the Politics of Corporate
Book SynopsisExploring themes associated with corruption, sustainable development, and human rights and security, Robert J. Hanlon considers the political dynamics of corporate social responsibility (CSR) within the context of the ‘Asian Century’ and its place in an increasingly multipolar world.By assessing how social responsibility is changing the discourse around trade, development and diplomacy, Hanlon sheds light on how competing visions of social responsibility are influencing political narratives in China and the West, examining multipolarity, the construction of Global China, and the ascent of competitive pluralism. Chapters argue that the liberal economic order founded at Bretton Woods is wavering with Western governments and multinational corporations who are seeking new strategies to compete against China, especially in emerging economies known for weak governance structures and dysfunctional rule of law. As CSR emerges as a political tool for states and business actors, this timely book adopts a human security approach for assessing the weaponization of political values within an increasingly fragmented rule-based liberal order.Expanding on the themes of constructivism, competitive pluralism and progressive neoliberalism, while introducing the novel concept of developmental CSR, this forward-thinking book will prove a vital resource for students, scholars and policymakers interested in Asian politics, public policy, CSR and international relations.Trade Review‘Professor Hanlon has written a theoretically informed and empirically researched work that does what the title suggests: integrates the concepts of human security and corporate social responsibility in China. It is grounded in contemporary theoretical debates and demonstrates an impressive knowledge of Chinese practices in the realm of CSR and human rights. Highly recommended for students and scholars of Chinese economic development generally.’ -- David Detomasi, Queen’s University, Canada‘Through a careful survey of the rise of CSR in China’s domestic and international agendas, Robert Hanlon explores business ethics as not just a feature of corporate branding or a site of developmental struggle, but also as a state legitimizing tool against the backdrop of the multipolar world order of globalised capitalism.’ -- Ruben Gonzalez-Vicente, University of Birmingham, UK‘This timely book helps explain how China’s economic and political interests are shaping understandings of corporate social responsibility within China, and around the world. It should prove useful to those working in the fields of business and society, global governance, human rights, and political corporate social responsibility.’ -- Glen Whelan, Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada‘Human security concerns public goods for human beings, while enterprises act mainly for their private interests. Robert Hanlon, however, writes this intellectually innovative yet politically realistic and well-balanced book for discussing how enterprises may contribute to human security through fulfilling corporate social responsibility in this turbulent world.’ -- Guoguang Wu, University of Victoria, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd States, International Organizations and Strategic
Book SynopsisIn post-Cold War international relations, strategic partnerships are an emerging and distinct analytical and political category critical in understanding the dynamics of contemporary strategic cooperation between states and International Organizations. However, the idea of strategic partnerships has remained under-theorized and overshadowed by the alliance theory. Addressing this clear-cut gap in the International Relations/Foreign Policy Analysis literature, this book originally endeavors to theorize and empirically test the analytical model of strategic partnerships as a new form of sustainable international cooperation in times of globalized interdependence and turbulence. Framed by the mixed-methods research strategy as well as essentially drawing on software-supported content analysis and statistical hypothesis testing, this book empirically explores fourteen of the most-diverse case studies of strategic partnerships forged by the European Union, NATO, ASEAN and the Andean Community. It challenges and tests a number of advanced scholarly propositions on the notion of these partnerships and succeeds in confirming the allegedly most salient assumptions -strategic partnerships are innately goal-driven and trust-based frameworks of sustainable bilateral alignment and structured international engagement in twenty-first century world politics. This edited volume addresses topical issues for both theory and practice of international relations, for it will enjoy a broad appeal among three major audiences and markets: academics and policy analysts, policy professionals and graduate and postgraduate students. 'An outstanding comparative tour de force on strategic partnerships across the world. It differs from previous research due to a thorough, well thought out, innovative theoretical framework used consistently throughout the 14 case studies. It includes well-documented studies on the major countries of the world and their relationships with the European Union, Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Andean Community (CAN) and the North Atlantic Trade Organization (NATO). The innovative, quantitative and qualitative methodology used is extensively explained and based on a database on strategic partnerships. An indispensable tool and deserving a special place in any library.' - José M. Magone, Berlin School of Economics and Law, GermanyTrade Review'Over the past decade, ''strategic partnerships'' have multiplied in international politics, becoming a prominent tool of diplomacy. However, only few academics have focussed on these partnerships, either as concept or instrument. This book is a fine contribution to locate ''strategic partnerships'' in the IR literature, building on interesting theoretical and empirical insights.' --Thomas Renard, Egmont Institute, Belgium'In the book, the strategic partnership is analyzed in empirical and theoretical terms as a form of cooperation between states and international organizations conditioned by changes at the level of the international system after the end of the Cold War. One of the undeniable advantages of the book is, first of all, the abandonment of the state-centric approach to strategic partnership dominating as so far in IR research. Secondly, strategic partnership of cooperation between NATO, EU, ASEAN, CAN and 14 countries is analyzed - on the one hand - as a relatively new area of IR practice, and on the other hand as the subject of theoretical thinking and as a proposed original model, which is a suggested tool for studying the practice of strategic partnership.' --Marek Pietras, Marie Curie Skodowska University, Poland'This immense and impressive volume is a welcome and timely contribution to the study of strategic partnerships in international relations. With its focus on strategic partnerships between states and international organizations, it covers a hitherto underexplored aspect of this form of cooperation. Empirically rich and theoretically ambitious, this volume will be an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand the full range of strategic partnerships in world politics today and the implications for international relations theory.' --Ulrich Krotz, European University Institute, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: PART I THEORY 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Europe, China, and the Limits of Normative Power
Book SynopsisEurope, China, and the Limits of Normative Power is a groundbreaking book, offering insights into European influence regarding China's development, during a period when Europe confronts its most serious political, social, and economic crises of the post-war period. Considering Europe's identity and its future international relevance, this book examines the extent to which Europe s multi-layered governance structure, the normative divergence overshadowing EU-China relations and Europe s crises continue to shape - and often limit - Europe's capacity to inspire China s development. Combining original research, interviews with EU and Chinese officials and academics, and practical experience of European institutional practice, Ferenczy examines EU-China relations in light of recent EU institutional reforms and the EU's continuous efforts to shape a common external policy vision. Drawing on the assessment of Europe as a 'normative power' this book reflects on the notions of European identity and global influence in the context of substantial shifts in power. As Europe grapples with internal challenges, and China emerges as a global power, Ferenczy avoids the trap of dismissing Europe as facing inevitable decline on the one hand and uncritical affirmations of China's emergence as a global power on the other. Instead, taking both a constructivist and realist approach, Europe, China, and the Limits of Normative Power highlights the power of ideas at the heart of European normative power, as well as the power of interest, which is thoroughly relevant to China's global aspirations. While a fragile and fragmented Europe has become more vulnerable to Chinese influence, China's motivations to maximize national interests cannot be dissociated from the social element of its interaction with Europe and its power of example, where norms matter.Trade Review'This is a thoroughly researched book, a unique and important contribution to the debate about the EU-China relations and the effectiveness of normative power more broadly.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Technology and International Relations: The New
Book SynopsisExploring how changes in advanced technology deeply affect international politics, this book theoretically engages with the overriding relevance of investments in technological research, and the ways in which they directly foster a country’s economic and military standing. Scholars and practitioners present important insights on the technical and social issues at the core of technology competition.Technology and International Relations emphasizes the importance of leadership styles, domestic political agendas and the relative weight of technologically driven countries in global affairs. It highlights the now widely shared belief among both developed and developing countries that technology will be the defining factor in international politics. The book also unpacks the complexity of real-life cases of key technological advances, including artificial intelligence, UAVs, satellites and the responses of governments and the private sector to rising technological challenges.This will be an important read for scholars of political science, international relations and international political economy, particularly those looking at the impact of technology and innovation.Trade Review‘The collective volume entitled Technology and International Relations: The New Frontier in Global Power reunites a group of specialists in contemporary technological developments with impact in international relations and addresses the topic of technology as source of empowerment in the near future global power starting from the recognition of the current paramount importance of technology in the exercise and concentration of power (and wealth) in our world.’ -- Henrieta Serban, Nordicum-Mediterraneum'The book provides a fresh view on the interdependencies between technology and international relations that could be useful far beyond the traditional domain of political science.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Extraterritoriality in East Asia:
Book SynopsisExtraterritoriality in East Asia examines the approaches of China, Japan, and South Korea to exercising legal authority over crimes committed outside their borders. It considers examples of legislation and judicial decision-making and offers a deeper understanding of the topic from the perspective of this legally, politically, and economically significant region.Beginning with a foundational overview of the principles of jurisdiction in international law, as well as identifying current challenges to those principles, subsequent chapters analyse the ways in which extraterritorial jurisdiction operates and is regulated in China, Japan, and South Korea.Danielle Ireland-Piper contextualizes contemporary issues within a historical narrative of each country and concludes by exploring areas of convergence and divergence between them. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of comparative, criminal, constitutional, and international law, as well as international relations, especially in the context of East Asia. Law-makers and practitioners, such as criminal lawyers and prosecutors, will also find its contemporary analysis useful.Trade Review‘Ireland-Piper’s book brings together three nations that have been under-studied in the English language literature, both individually and comparatively. Through concise and eloquent writing, Ireland-Piper has amply achieved her two stated aims. Readers will gain a contextualised understanding of how extraterritorial jurisdiction (especially vis-a`-vis prescriptive extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction) operates in the three nations, and appreciate the convergences and divergences between them. In short, this book equips readers with a solid starting point for further research into this important subject.’ -- Jianlin Chen, Australian Journal of Asian Law'In Extraterritoriality in East Asia: Extraterritorial Criminal Jurisdiction in China, Japan, and South Korea, Danielle Ireland-Piper has again demonstrated her comprehensive knowledge, and sharp analysis, of some of the most complex and most pressing legal issues of our time. Her insights, combined with those of her co-authors, and the clarity with which she expresses them, creates an invaluable resource both for those seeking to understand the law as it stands and for those who ponder how it can be improved.' -- Dan Svantesson, Bond University, Australia'A fabulous resource. Significant literature assesses the extraterritorial application of criminal law and the uses of extraterritorial jurisdiction by the United States and Europe. Few English language resources, however, analyze the phenomenon elsewhere. This terrific book--thoughtful in its approach and carefully balanced in its analysis--fills an important gap, providing a glimpse into East Asia practices. Through three country studies, the book provides a rich exploration of the uses of extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction within specific constitutional contexts, while touching on implications for international law's jurisdictional principles. Danielle Ireland-Piper has crafted a must-read for those wanting to understand how extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction operates in China, Japan, and South Korea.' -- Austen Parrish, Indiana University Maurer School of Law, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Greening China’s New Silk Roads: The Sustainable
Book SynopsisThis timely book offers a critical account of key governance challenges of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Illustrating China’s efforts to expand its idea of a sustainable eco-civilization, thereby ‘greening’ the BRI, it explores the disputes that have emerged from this process and subsequent complications resulting from geopolitical competition. R. James Ferguson presents a critical analysis of China’s Green BRI, discussing the environmental impact of BRI corridors and its overall importance in harmonising the twin policy agendas of human development and environmental preservation. The author evaluates security and geopolitical challenges for the BRI in the context of China’s new globalism and emerging asymmetric co-governance. Demonstrating the need for improved governance of the BRI for a sustainability transition in global affairs, Ferguson suggests a range of strategies to compete with, complement or transform the BRI into a more multilaterized Green BRI. This cutting-edge book is crucial reading for academics and researchers in political science and international relations focusing on contemporary Chinese governance and the significance of sustainable development for the BRI. Its unique practical insights and policy recommendations will also benefit policy advisors and environmental organizations that are engaging with green governance issues.Trade Review‘If the future direction of China's Belt and Roads initiative has baffled you, this book is the key to unlock its mysteries. The author – a world authority on the subject – not only provides a clear account of what has happened in the “greening” of the Belt and Roads since its inception, but also places the analysis within the context of the raging controversy about Chinese foreign policy. Ferguson provides a compelling case for a more sober debate regarding Beijing's attempt to bring human development and environmental needs into harmony. This is a must-read for anyone who has an interest in the future.’ -- Joseph M.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Research Agenda for Corporations
Book SynopsisElgar 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. This exciting Research Agenda offers a multi-disciplinary and historically informed programme for the further investigation of the global political economy of the corporate sector. It tackles the question, can and should the corporation be reformed? Christopher May develops a range of intersecting areas for research while also offering an account of the possibilities for the reform of the global corporation. Based on an understanding of the history of corporations, the author provides key insights into their management and political agency as well as the operation of the global corporate supply chain. Drawing links between a range of disciplines and perspectives on business enterprises, May calls for a more nuanced understanding of the global corporate sector in order to better comprehend the contours of the contemporary global capitalist system. This Research Agenda will be a valuable resource for students and academics of politics, economics, sociology and law, who are curious to explore the corporation in relation to their area of study.Trade Review'May persuasively makes the case for scholars to take a more holistic approach to research on corporations. He rightly argues that too many scholars take a narrow disciplinary view, while others downplay or ignore corporations in their analysis. One theme throughout is how corporate leaders govern-within the organization itself and throughout global supply chains with significant consequences for society. This short yet comprehensive book covers the key issues and questions that scholars need to address to explain our current era.' --Virginia Haufler, University of Maryland, College Park, US'Firms and corporations have been out of fashion in recent decades. Christopher May's deeply researched and carefully constructed historical-social analysis of the corporation reminds us just why this is shortsighted. It is cross disciplinary in the best sense - reaching across an impressive mix of, often contradictory, source materials to make sense of how the corporation operates from the local to the global and ultimately challenging us: what should be done to reform one of the key actors in world politics?' --Stuart Shields, University of Manchester, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd EU Policymaking at a Crossroads: Negotiating the
Book SynopsisFor readers interested in an overview of what led to the adoption of the European Union’s Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) and its aftermath, this book traces the discursive dynamics and milestones of the negotiations around the MFF and the new recovery instrument, aimed at alleviating the economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.Covering the negotiations of the current MFF, contributions by both scholarly experts in their respective policy areas and authors close to the policy community in Brussels provide a well rounded insight into this discerning topic. Chapters explore the issues that unfolded during the negotiations of the MFF and recovery package against the backdrop of conflicts over solidarity, identity and sovereignty and thus the scope of cooperation and membership as well as institutional design and authority. EU Policymaking at a Crossroads anticipates, describes and discursively explains changes in selected policy areas, looking into the negotiations, effects and reflections surrounding them.This timely book will be a highly beneficial read for academics and students in the fields of international relations, European politics and public policy. Scholars specializing in multilevel governance of different policy areas such as sustainability, agriculture and migration will also profit from this comprehensive book.Trade Review‘Budget negotiations are often considered to be mostly rational and interest-based processes. Negotiations about the EU Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) in particular tend to be analysed as classical domains of fierce intergovernmental bargaining between EU member states. This edited volume goes beyond the rationalist assumptions and zooms onto the “struggle over ideas”. By introducing an interpretive approach to the study of policymaking, this excellent collection makes an essential contribution to research on EU integration. With its focus on meaning as manifest in persuasion and justification, the book provides insights into the politicization and polarization encountered in different policy areas at a point in time, when the EU was, once again, considered to be “at a crossroads”.’ -- Frank Nullmeier, Bremen University, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: PART I THE NEGOTIATIONS ABOUT THE MULTIANNUAL FINANCIAL FRAMEWORK 2021–2027 AND THEIR CONTEXT 1 The EU at a crossroads.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Reconfigurations of Authority, Power and
Book SynopsisExpansive and engaging, this book investigates the fluidity of sites of power and authority in global politics. Examining the key shifts and turns of politics in globally oriented spaces since the end of the Cold War, contributions from leading scholars explore the continually shifting parameters of global governance.The book assesses how, in this ever-evolving global space, norms and rules are constantly being challenged and new technologies are altering the scope and uses of political power. Chapters explore these reconfigurations of authority, power, and territoriality, critically analysing the implications of the rise of multiple states as powerful actors in the international system, dissecting the dominant discourse on the securitization of migration and displacement, and assessing the growing divide between legality and legitimacy in world politics. In demonstrating how expectations of legitimacy in governance structures and processes have become more pronounced, the book ultimately exposes the limitations in the transformative potential of the liberal international order.Offering interdisciplinary perspectives on critical world order challenges, this wide-ranging book is an essential resource for scholars of international relations, international law, political theory, critical security studies, and migration studies. It will also be of particular interest to practitioners working in intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations.Trade Review‘This book points us to the importance of a much-neglected topic in international affairs – legitimate authority. Not only does it remind us of the centrality of who governs and why we follow them, but it links it to the shifting geostrategic developments in the 21st century. Few works combine theory and evidence in such an important and interesting way, including works by some top scholars in the field. Well worth the read!’ -- Anthony Lang Jr., University of St Andrews, UK‘A uniquely sophisticated study of global politics and governance, Reconfigurations of Authority, Power and Territoriality pursues its aims with a depth and intensity that never loses sight of the real relations that shape our world today. Attuned to the interplay of power, ideas, and norms, Reconfigurations offers a guide to thinking about the crucial transformations underway in the global realm.’ -- Robert Latham, York University, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: List of contributors vii 1 Introduction to Reconfigurations of Authority, Power and Territoriality 1 Stephen J.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Economics of War: Profiteering, Militarism
Book SynopsisBad things occur and persist because of the presence of powerful beneficiaries. In this provocative and illuminating book, Imad Moosa illustrates the economic motivations behind the last 100 years of international conflict, citing the numerous powerful individual and corporate war profiteers that benefit from war. Inspired and informed by War is a Racket, the 1935 work of General Smedley Butler, the author explores historic and contemporary incidents of war profiteering, identifying individuals and groups that have increased their wealth through the supply of weaponry, mercenaries, provisions and finance in times of war. This book offers a caustic indictment of the military-industrial complex, exploring the privatisation of conflict that has fuelled war across the globe. Providing a contemporary, in-depth analysis of the economics of war, this book is critical for academics and students of war studies, international relations and military and political history. Policy makers will also benefit from this book's comprehensive analysis of wartime policy and practice.Trade Review'The Economics of War makes an important contribution to our understanding of the causes of war. By identifying the economic incentives motivating wars of aggression, Imad Moosa pulls back the curtain to reveal the stark realities of a foreign policy grounded in militarism and imperialism.' --Christopher Coyne, George Mason University, US'A passionate, uncompromising analysis of historical events that makes a compelling case that most wars were motivated by the economic gains of the few able to exercise political power that was a catastrophic cost to the many. A well-chronicled proposition that immoral acts of violence were imperialist or profiteering pursuits under the guise of humanitarian and moral actions.' --John Vaz, Monash University, Australia'Moosa looks beyond the explicit aims of war to reveal the economic and financial incentives and dimensions underpinning wars of aggression in our modern society. Not since Smedley Butler (1935) has an author so bravely critiqued the true drivers of modern warfare to reveal an uncomfortable truth: wars are about money, rather than noble causes. The book is an informative and enthralling read for anyone interested in the history and causes of war, the international legalisation of war, the micro- and macro-economic impacts of war, and war profiteering.' --Kelly Burns, Curtin University, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd China–North Korea Relations: Between Development
Book SynopsisThis book develops a new approach to exploring China's relations with North Korea that utilises the concept of developmental peace. Bringing together various strands of Chinese thinking on the mutually reinforcing relationship between economic development, state stability, and international peace and security, the book provides novel insights into Chinese prescriptions for tackling North Korea's interrelated military and human security challenges. Contributors demonstrate how the lens of developmental peace helps to explain the rationale behind, as well as contradictions and challenges in, China's relations with North Korea on a range of issues such as denuclearisation, water and energy security, human rights, and economic development. Featuring top scholars from China and South Korea, as well as primary evidence from China, North and South Korea, the book greatly improves the understanding of the current perspectives in each state, and the impact they have on this vital security relationship. Asian studies - and in particular Chinese studies - scholars will appreciate the in-depth analysis of China's approach to relations with North Korea, as well as the first-hand evidence used. The analysis of the difficulties in China providing a singular approach to its relations will be useful to policy-makers and scholars looking into the complexities of foreign policy. Trade Review'This timely book contributes a much needed lens on China's Korea policy. Each of its essays probes a different dimension of China's developmental approach to peace and security on the Korean peninsula.

Liverpool University Press Israel, the United States, and the War Against
Book SynopsisOperation Protective Edge, launched on July 8, 2014, saw heavy fighting between the Israel Defense Forces and Hamas in Gaza. Throughout the war US government media spokespersons confirmed Israels right to self-defense against rockets and tunnels, and condemned Hamas for initiating the conflict and its use of human shields. But there is an important difference between confirmation and pro-active demonstration at the highest political level. The longstanding alliance between the United States and Israel has always been subject to the administration and president of the day. In this case, the Obama administrations support for Israels right to self-defense was qualified, and as a result the Israeli political leadership felt constrained in its ability to defeat Hamas militarily without risking criticism from the United States that would impact negatively on the special relationship. In its role as ally, the United States was careful not to apply direct political pressure on Israel. However, US government public criticisms relating to Gazan civilian loss of life damaged Israel on the international stage via harrowing media coverage surrounding the conflict. The Federal Aviation Administration order to airlines to stop flying to Israel enhanced Hamas claim that it had inflicted a strategic defeat to the Zionist State. For the last 70 years Israel has recognized that the United States is its primary strategic ally a principle initiated by Israels first Prime Minister and Defense Minister, David Ben-Gurion. Political and military policies have to be directed to prevent a rift. But the Protective Edge experience has brought to the fore that in times of crisis Israel cannot rely on a special relationship to secure its safety and must of necessity possess the political will and military ability to defend itself and to take actions that may result in a strained relationship.

Liverpool University Press Reframing Globalization After COVID-19: Pandemic
Book SynopsisThe pandemic has deepened existing trends in the international system, in particular the readjustment of alliances between nations and between regions. As spheres of influence disintegrate and reform, so national and regional security policies will change in unforeseen ways notwithstanding that individual state self-preservation will dominate policy choice. Three major dimensions are addressed. The first dimension is International Relations and Economy. The coronavirus has accelerated a global economic crisis comparable to those of 1929, 1987 and 2008. Are the major economic trading blocs moving to a war economy, and who might win or lose in this context? The second dimension of analysis is the growth of Information Communication. Hybrid and fragmented, especially in terms of the use of social media, the use of veiled threat and promoting discord in the form of providing provocative information on topics of the day can lead to conflict consequences and all its negative impacts. The third dimension is Geopolitical Reconfiguration. While world powers are always manoeuvring for an enhanced military and economic position, the pandemic offers new opportunities to capitalise on the changing power balance. The editors and contributors engage with the differing power polarities between China, the United States, India, Brazil, Russia, and the European Union. This book is one of the first to present research on the effects of COVID-19 on national public policy. Cross-cultural analysis of its effects, and the way in which different societies have addressed the fight against the virus, provides insight into the relations between states and possible solutions in the international arena. The work is essential reading for all those involved in international affairs and policy-making.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd MNCs in Global Politics: Pathways of Influence
Book SynopsisThis authoritative book examines the power of multinational corporations (MNCs) to exert influence in global politics. Focusing on the actions and motivations of MNCs, it explores how they attempt to shape the political issues that affect them. Combining theoretical perspectives with analyses of enlightening case studies, the contributors consider key areas in which MNCs seek to exert political influence such as environmental sustainability, social conflicts and corporate tax avoidance, as well as in specific industries including mining, shipping and consulting. They also illustrate the mechanisms used by MNCs to exert influence in a wide range of policy fields at multiple territorial levels, discussing how they interact with states, intergovernmental organizations and civil society, as well as how they coordinate their activities with other parts of the business community. The book concludes that MNCs enjoy certain basic privileges in society and politics due to their preponderant economic position and their key role in the processes of globalization, but action is necessary to sustain this role.MNCs in Global Politics will be critical reading for academics and students of politics, international relations and political economy, particularly those with an interest in globalization and governance. Its exploration of specific case studies will also be beneficial for policy-makers.Trade Review'The role of multinational corporations in global politics has been neglected for many decades, after a first wave of scholarship during the 1970s. Mikler and Ronit bring together authors with various specializations, united in their attempt to present a comprehensive current picture of MNCs as political actors in their own right. The book is an indispensable working tool for scholars in various disciplines, from International Business to Political Science. It will also be very helpful for policy discussions on the adequate role of MNCs in post-corona capitalism.' -- Andreas Nolke, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany'It is often asserted that multinational corporations wield significant power and influence, but too often this claim is taken as self-evident without any detailed exposition. In this timely volume the complexity of corporations' engagement with states, global governance and (global) civil society is explored across a range of dimensions to establish that corporate influence is both contested and contingent. Balancing collective analyses of the global corporate realm with an attention to specific sectors and enterprises, the contributors offer a nuanced and compelling analysis that delivers a sophisticated account of corporate power and influence in the new millennium.' -- Christopher May, Lancaster University, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface and Acknowledgments Chapter 1: Introduction John Mikler and Karsten Ronit Chapter 2: Globalizing State Capitalism?

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Rethinking International Relations
Book SynopsisIn this thought-provoking book, Bertrand Badie argues that the traditional paradigms of international relations are no longer sustainable, and that ignorance of these shifting systems and of alternative models is a major source of contemporary international conflict and disorder. Through a clear examination of the political, historical and social context, Badie illuminates the challenges and possibilities of an 'intersocial' and multilateral approach to international relations. Badie lays the foundations for understanding by first tracing the history of traditional Eurocentric international relations, from the Westphalian Peace of the seventeenth century through to the power politics of the mid-twentieth century, and discussing the processes, such as decolonisation, by which this system has been destabilised. Chapters consider issues such as the changing powers and identity of the state, regionalism, and war and conflict, demonstrating the impact of globalisation and the growing influence of both non-Western and non-state actors in the international arena and highlighting the need for a more widespread understanding of these realities. Rethinking International Relations will be essential reading for all scholars and students of international relations and political science. Its insights will also prove useful to policymakers and other actors involved in diplomatic relations and international public policy.Trade Review'The blindness of Western leaders and academics to the ways the international environment has changed since the days of the Congress of Vienna is a root cause of policy failure and possibly of impending catastrophe. In this brilliant exercise of historical sociology, Badie, drawing on the insights of Emile Durkheim, elaborates five principles to pull the wool from Western eyes. His arguments are very much on target and his book should be required reading in the academy and foreign ministries.' --Richard Ned Lebow, King's College London, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Conflict and Transnational Crime: Borders,
Book SynopsisExploring the links between armed conflict and transnational crime, Florian Weigand builds on in-depth empirical research into some of Southeast Asia's murkiest borders. The disparate voices of drug traffickers, rebel fighters, government officials and victims of armed conflict are heard in Conflict and Transnational Crime, exploring perspectives that have been previously disregarded in understanding the field. Weigand's nuanced comparative analysis of four border regions in Southeast Asia counters the stereotypical view that conflict zones are lawless areas in which all kinds of criminal activities flourish. Chapters illustrate the logic that determines the relationship between armed conflict and transnational crime. Further, the book analyses how smuggling economies function in conflict zones, explaining why some rebel groups are involved in the smuggling economy more than others, and why state actors actually play a much more crucial role. This crucial study will be a compelling read for international relations, political sociology and development studies scholars. The in-depth analysis of real-life situations will also greatly benefit policy-makers and aid organisations looking to better support areas at the heart of conflict and transnational crime. Trade Review‘In this engaged and open-minded study, Florian Weigand does us all a favor by exposing how shaky assumptions about the crime conflict nexus are.’ -- Neil Boister, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books‘Conflict and Transnational Crime is a cogent and compelling study of both the connections and disconnections between crime and conflict in Southeast Asia. It forcefully carves through the standard rhetoric of 'narco-terrorists' and 'militia-mafias' to offer a vital dissection of state involvement in illicit markets. In doing so, it laudably manages to instigate conclusions with global implications while remaining firmly tethered to its regional context.’ -- Alessandro Ford, LSE Review of Books'An engaging and readable account of how state actors, armed militias and criminal groups operate in concert to control the political economy of trafficking, extortion and illicit markets that underpins much of the conflict violence in the borderlands of in Southeast Asia.' --Keith Krause, Graduate Institute, Switzerland'This book provides a rare inside look at the links between armed conflict and transnational crime in the borderlands of Southeast Asia. Moving at a thrilling pace from Thailand to Myanmar and the Philippines, it challenges received wisdom on how conflict and crime are linked, in particular by putting emphasis on the role of state actors in smuggling networks. Well researched and engagingly written, it will prove an excellent resource for a wide range of readers interested in smuggling, conflict and borders.' --Ruben Andersson, University of Oxford, UK'Digging beneath sensationalistic headlines and simple catch-phrases such as ''the crime-conflict nexus,'' ''ungoverned spaces, and ''conflict commodities,'' Florian Weigand has given us a timely, nuanced, and sophisticated account of the complex relationship between illicit trade and conflict in contemporary Southeast Asia.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Belt and Road Initiative and Global
Book SynopsisThis timely book examines the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), assessing its effect on the international economic order and global governance more broadly. Through a variety of qualitative case studies the book investigates the implementation of the BRI and evaluates its development outcomes both for China and the countries it interacts with under the initiative, along with its international implications. Chapters discuss as-yet-unexplored cases from the ground in brand new studies based on fieldwork by leading academics, as well as providing alternative readings of the rationale behind the BRI. Questions about connectivity and the financial implications of Chinese investments are addressed, taking a balanced approach that demonstrates the complexity and nuance of these issues, and the far-from-linear impact that the BRI is having on global governance. This incisive book will be critical reading for scholars and policy makers working on China and global governance. It will also provide useful insights for officials and practitioners working in BRI countries and international institutions, think-tanks and NGOs. Contributors include: M.A. Carrai, J.-C.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook on Climate Change and International
Book SynopsisThis topical Handbook explores the emergence of climate change as an international security issue, the threats it poses, and the political and academic debates it has prompted. Framing climate change as a security issue, it explores the ways relevant actors, states and international organizations have conceptualized climate security and its associated threats.Theoretically sound and empirically innovative, this Handbook explores the political implications of linking climate change and security and tackles the questions that are subsequently raised. Through a collection of international case studies, expert contributors explore a diverse range of issues emerging in the debate about climate change and security, including the problem of migration, the impact on energy security and the role of the military. Contributing to various discourses, logics, practices and constructions of climate security, the Handbook outlines how security language shapes and transforms the way climate change is governed. Ultimately, it identifies an emerging, broader reconceptualization of international security in the Anthropocene.Displaying the challenges that climate change poses in the context of existing security practices and institutions, this Handbook will be vital for policymakers looking to identify and understand threats to formulate effective countermeasures. It will also prove useful to students and scholars of security studies, international relations, climate change and energy politics, environmental politics and policy, and governance.Trade Review‘This timely volume fills an important gap in the growing literature on climate security by providing a multidisciplinary overview of the concepts of climate change and security. Blending theory, practice, and topical insights, the Handbook pulls together a range of approaches to provide baselines and methodologies for analyzing the complex and interrelated issues of climate and security.’ -- Charlotte Ku, Texas A&M University School of Law, US‘Energy security in the anthropocene; climate emergency; securitization of climate; climatization of security; climate resilience; and beyond.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Politics of Regional Cooperation and the
Book SynopsisThis unique book explores what subregions are in a European context and what roles they fulfil in relation to the European integration process, exploring how subregional cooperation and integration in Europe largely take place in the shadow of the European integration process. Mats Braun examines how subregions fulfil two specific functions in relation to the European integration process: they compensate for the fact that countries are connected to the European Union in different ways, and they facilitate cooperation in fields where the EU has failed to do so. The book analyses two of the European subregions in detail, the Nordics and the Visegrad, and explores how these groups gain legitimacy. Braun suggests that Nordic cooperation is based on perceptions of shared norms relating, among other things, to peace, while the Visegrad Group has become widely known only in the aftermath of the migration crisis and is now developing a new narrative based on protecting Europe. Elaborating on a theoretical framework based on postfunctionalism, this book will be critical reading for scholars and students of European politics and policy, international relations and regional studies. Its focus on the two case studies will also be beneficial for policy makers and analysts interested in the politics of the Nordic and Visegrad countries.Trade Review'Mats Braun has tackled the subject that many in EU studies and beyond have wanted and needed: how state formations within the EU function and influence its works. A long-time observer, the author is especially well-placed to take on this essential yet understudied topic. This book mobilises an intimate knowledge of both the Nordic and Visegrad countries; a combination difficult to match. The results are an informed, comparative analysis, with great value and insights to a wide range of readers.' -- Rick Fawn, University of St Andrews, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Ukraine Crisis and EU Foreign Policy Roles:
Book SynopsisThis book examines how, within foreign policy, perceptions are a reflection of an actor's conception of status, credibility and legitimacy assigned to the Self and the Others. Perceptions of the Self and Other and their roles in international relations are also informed by images of superiority, intent and affinity. Perceptions may change over time and under the impact of dramatic events.Chapters explore the perceptions of both sides of EU–Ukraine relations, and propose a new set of concepts to highlight internal and external role incongruences, including: perception gaps, expectations-performance gaps and hope-performance gaps. A differentiation between cognitive, emotive and normative elements of images helps to explain role conflicts. The book further offers a comparison of EU self-images and Ukrainian expectations and perceptions in four areas of external actions of the EU: as an international leader and global and regional power, a partner for Ukraine, a peace mediator and a public diplomacy actor. Scholars and students of international relations, European politics, and EU foreign policy will find this book a useful resource. It will also benefit those studying political communication, as the book considers conceptual metaphor theory in its application to the studies of images and perceptions in international relations and communication about complex political events and actors.Trade Review'This contribution of Professors Chaban and Elgström enhances the understanding of International Relations from three different angles. First, the book provides an innovative theoretical framework to study the EU's self-visions and the EU's images around the world. Second, it provides a sound methodology to empirically assess how the EU's foreign policy is perceived by a critical Eastern European neighbor, Ukraine. Third, based on its theoretical and methodological innovations, this book opens new avenues for scholars and policymakers to explain and suggest how to close the gap between expectations and performance in foreign policy practices.' -- Roberto Dominguez, Suffolk University, Boston, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Everyday Making of EU Foreign and Security
Book SynopsisThis cutting-edge book explores the practices and socialization of the everyday foreign policy making in the European Union (EU), focusing on the individuals who shape and implement the Common Foreign and Security Policy despite a growing dissension among member states.The authors provide theoretically informed analyses based on up-to-date empirical material from the Political and Security Committee, Council working groups, the European External Action Service, EU delegations, military and civilian missions and operations and EU member state embassies. They illustrate the ways in which European foreign policy is shaped through the daily work of diplomats, exploring the communities of practice that are formed in the process of policy-making in the EU. Combining socialization and practice approaches, the book offers an innovative take on the motivations behind integration at a time of European discord.Providing a unique inside account of diplomatic practices and the coordination of EU foreign policy, this insightful book is crucial reading for students of political science and international relations at all levels seeking to better understand the minutiae of formulating and coordinating EU foreign and security policy. Its empirical analyses will also benefit scholars and researchers interested in European integration and socialization in international organizations, as well as practitioners, such as diplomats and European civil servants.Trade Review‘This is a fascinating and insightful text which reveals many of the underpinnings of EU foreign policy practice at multiple institutional levels. Its added value is to flesh out the “practice turn” in the analysis of EU foreign policy and the interplay between EU and member state diplomats, civil servants and military personnel. It's an essential addition to any bookshelf on European foreign policy.’ -- Ben Tonra, University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland‘Innovative and original, this book provides a fresh take on the European Union’s foreign and security policy. Examining the everyday practices at play across national and EU policy communities, it sheds new light on the paradox of the EU’s advances as a foreign policy actor, despite continued contestation.’ -- Kathleen McNamara, Georgetown University, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface PART I HISTORY OF EUROPEAN FOREIGN AND SECURITY POLICY: CONCEPTUAL AND THEORETICAL APPROACHES 1.

The collection presents a solid read for students, scholars, policymakers, and other professionals interested in recent developments concerning the BRI. Practically, the editors aim to raise the Chinese government’s attention to the significance of adapting to multilateralism, which China has claimed it supports. Theoretically, through the lens of the BRI, the book explores the implications of a rising China on global governance across diverse fields. Finally, and specifically for geographers, the book should inspire greater exploration into the spatiality of BRI projects.’ -- Xiaofeng Liu, Eurasian Geography and Economics‘In this Research Handbook, the researchers shed an analytical light on both the thematic and functional aspects of the BRI through exhaustive interdisciplinary quantitative and qualitative analysis. Meanwhile, the diverse nationalities represented among the contributors also enable the book to look at the BRI from the perspective of both China and host countries, highlighting the strong repercussions in policymaking among the states along the route as well as the impact on both domestic and international spheres.’ -- Founder and President of the Center for China and Globalization (CCG)Table of ContentsContents: Preface and acknowledgements xix Introduction to the Research Handbook on the Belt and Road Initiative xx Joseph Chinyong Liow, Hong Liu and Gong Xue PART I CONCEPTUAL AND THEMATIC ISSUES 1 China and the Maritime Silk Road: from passive to active participant 2 John N.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd China in Central Europe: Seeking Allies, Creating
Book SynopsisThis book explores China’s policy towards the European Union, using the case study of four member states from Central Europe: Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. Gabriela Pleschová documents China’s strategic approach to engaging with these countries bilaterally and multilaterally, through intensified diplomatic and soft-power campaigns, upgrading them to strategic partners, offering loans and promising investments. China in Central Europe outlines how this particular approach has proven to be ineffective. Despite the allocation of significant resources to the development of relations with Central Europe, Pleschová argues that there is limited enthusiasm for China outside of a narrow circle of policy makers and business people who profit from engagement with China. Instead, Chinese influence has stirred criticism and created tensions among other groups, such as between Czech politicians and the local expert community on China, or among Hungarian citizens distrustful of their own government. Pleschová further argues that China has not impacted how Central Europe’s representatives vote in the European Parliament and that support from some elites in Central Europe does not translate into wider backing for China in the EU. China can influence Central European countries’ policy to some extent; however, if a fundamental issue arises, countries harden their position towards Beijing. Utilizing social science concepts to explain the puzzles from China–Central Europe relations, this book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of international relations, Chinese studies, EU politics, and international law, as well as political and social scientists more generally. It will also be useful for professionals engaged in foreign policy decision-making.Trade Review‘China in Central Europe is an important addition to the growing literature on relations between China and Europe. This book fills a gap by offering systematic analysis of a number of issues around China’s approach to Central and Eastern Europe, a topic which has received more attention from policy makers over recent years. Pleschová’s findings, which highlight the difficulties the Chinese government has had in pursuing its agenda, deserve a wide consideration by policy makers and scholars alike.’ -- Tim Summers, The Chinese University of Hong Kong'In her pioneering research Gabriela Pleschová investigates a complex relationship between China and Central Europe. She describes how Hungarians and other nations in Central Europe increasingly feel mistrust and fear from the collaboration with the Chinese Communist government, in part due to concerns about the authoritarian tendencies of their own regimes. Tensions between the groups that advocate profit and value-based policy (a defining feature of post-communist societies) are analyzed in this fascinating book.' -- András Bozóki, Central European University, Vienna, AustriaTable of ContentsContents: 1.
