Public international law: international organizations and institutions Books
Cambridge University Press Ascending Order
Book SynopsisWhy do rising powers sometimes challenge an international order that enables their growth, and at other times support an order that constrains them? Ascending Order offers the first comprehensive study of conflict and cooperation as new powers join the global arena. International institutions shape the choices of rising states as they pursue equal status with established powers. Open membership rules and fair decision-making procedures facilitate equality and cooperation, while exclusion and unfairness frequently produce conflict. Using original and robust archival evidence, the book examines these dynamics in three cases: the United States and the maritime laws of war in the mid-nineteenth century; Japan and naval arms control in the interwar period; and India and nuclear non-proliferation in the Cold War. This study shows that the future of contemporary international order depends on the ability of international institutions to address the status ambitions of rising powers such as China and India.Trade Review'In a world in transition, Rohan Mukherjee helps us understand when rising powers are likely to challenge the world order or cooperate. In this path-breaking book, Mukherjee shows that the answer lies in overlooked areas - their place and status in international institutions - and the psychology of identity.' Deborah Welch Larson, co-author of Quest for Status: Chinese and Russian Foreign Policy'Ascending Order makes a real contribution to the literature on great power politics and the ways in which we can use institutions to shape the behavior of rising nations. Mukherjee's analysis is clear and compelling, readily accessible for both scholars and practitioners. A timely and valuable read.' Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America'Ascending Order is a timely and important contribution to international relations scholarship. Rohan Mukherjee moulds research on status concerns, rising powers, and international institutions into a novel theory that opens a new window on crucial but still poorly understood dimensions of great power politics. If you want to understand the substance underlying much of the talk about the 'rules based order' and 'great power competition,' read this book.' William C. Wohlforth, Daniel Webster Professor, Department of Government, Dartmouth College'The most dangerous moments in international affairs occur when rising states emerge to challenge the dominance of a reigning great power. In this excellent study, Mukherjee shows that these power transitions do not inevitably culminate in great-power conflict or hegemonic war.' G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs'It is a theoretically ambitious and empirically jam-packed contribution that explains why rising powers in global politics sometimes challenge an international order that enables their growth, and at other times support an order that constrains them. The biggest strength of this book is indeed the breadth, depth, and novelty of the archival material, undoubtedly completed through extensive and meticulous labour.'

Cambridge University Press Humanitarian Disarmament
Book SynopsisThe humanitarian framing of disarmament is not a novel development, but rather represents a re-emergence of a much older and long-standing sensibility of humanitarianism in disarmament. The Book rejects the ''big bang'' theory that presents the Anti-Personnel Landmines Convention 1997, and its successors the Convention on Cluster Munitions 2008, and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons 2017 as a paradigm shift from an older traditional state-centric approach towards a more progressive humanitarian approach. It shows how humanitarian disarmament has a long and complex history, which includes these treaties. This book argues that the attempt to locate the birth of humanitarian disarmament in these treaties is part of the attempt to cleanse humanitarian disarmament of politics, presenting humanitarianism as a morally superior discourse in disarmament. However, humanitarianism carries its own blind spots and has its own hegemonic leanings. It may be silencing other potentiallTrade Review'There is a great deal of discussion in the current literature on international nuclear weapons law regarding the humanitarian movement in diplomacy and civil society, which played a major role in the successful adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. In this book, Treasa Dunworth makes a tremendously significant contribution to this literature by placing this most recent humanitarian initiative in its historical and theoretical context within the broader narrative of humanitarian disarmament generally. Contextualising the modern movement in this way helps us to understand its nature and its successes, as well as the likely limits of its power to bring about nuclear disarmament.' Daniel Joyner, Elton B. Stephens Professor of Law, University of Alabama'This book provides a very timely contribution that will inform current debates about both the legacy of HD and, more importantly, its future direction and place in the architecture of regulation to control the means of violence.' Neil Cooper, Director, School of Peace and Conflict Studies, Kent State University'An elegant and richly informative study that charts the genealogy of humanitarian disarmament - or, as it is put in this fine work, a humanitarian framing of disarmament. Digging deep into materials from public international law as well as from other disciplines, Treasa Dunworth has given us a history of the concept without the gloss - and it is a quietly compelling history that is brought alive as much by the supreme clarity of its exposition as it is by the sustained and patient critical engagement that takes hold of each page.' Dino Kritsiotis, Professor of Public International Law, University of Nottingham, Co-Director of the Nottingham International Law and Security Centre (NILSC)'In a relaxed and informative style, Dr Dunworth surveys the humanitarian impetus for key disarmament efforts and outcomes, spanning from the St Petersburg Declaration of 1868 up until the adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in 2017. It is a fascinating and illuminating account - a rewarding read for anyone interested in disarmament.'

Cambridge University Press Contesting Sovereignty
Book SynopsisSovereignty is a foundational idea upon which regional organisation of nations is built, yet its demise has often been predicted. Regionalism, which commits states to common frameworks such as rules and norms, tests sovereignty as states relinquish some sovereign power to achieve other goals such as security, growth, or liberalisation. This book examines the practice of normative contestation over sovereignty in two regional organisations of Africa and Asia the AU and ASEAN. A structured comparison of three case studies from each organisation determines whether a norm challenging sovereignty was accepted, rejected, or qualified. Ng has carried out interviews about, and detailed analysis of, these six cases that occurred at formative moments of norm-setting and that each had very different outcomes. This study contributes to the understanding of norms contestation in the field of international relations and offers new insights on how the AU and ASEAN are constituted.Trade Review'This timely, meticulously-researched, persuasively-argued, and provocatively-theorized book navigates the complex world of norm contestation in the African Union (AU) and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). Ng insightfully theorized that three factors of diplomatic practice drive norm contestation between relatively equal actors in international organizations. This pioneering book will be a great read for scholars and practitioners of international relations, diplomacy, international organizations, African and Asian Studies.'

Cambridge University Press Rule of Law Intermediaries
Book SynopsisDuring Myanmar's political opening, intermediaries played a key role in the field of rule of law development.This book brings to light these neglected players, focusing on who they are, the influence they have, their double agency, their challenges and their crucial importance for rule of law progress.Trade Review'Rule of Law Intermediaries offers a rich account of the complex arrangements that comprise rule of law assistance. Simion's engaging analysis sheds new light on the influence of intermediaries in Myanmar, and the networks they navigate. With its descriptive prose and ethnographic depth, Rule of Law Intermediaries provides a vivid illustration of transnational law in action, and makes an important contribution to the study of development, law and society.' Kathryn Henne, Director, School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), The Australian National University'With nuance and refined analysis, Rule of Law Intermediaries skilfully champions a necessary shift in orientations to the globalisation of law – from naïve expectations about the power of international agents to the actualities of influence wielded by creative local actors. By shifting focus from international expertises to the singular knowledges and practices of intermediaries, this book compels scholars and policymakers alike to grapple more seriously with the dynamic mediating processes that moderate international hubris and legal change.' Terence Halliday, American Bar Foundation, and co-author of Global Lawmakers: International Organizations in the Crafting of World Markets'Rule of Law Intermediaries is a rich and readable scholarly gem. There is no book like it. In addition to original and compelling insights into the burgeoning rule of law industry and its actors, it also adds a fresh perspective to the literature on legal globalisation and to the study of the politics of law in Myanmar.' Bryant G. Garth, Distinguished Professor of Law Emeritus, University of California–Irvine'As with all good social science publications, Simion's results lend themselves to application in other contexts andregions and are thus of value beyond serving as historical documentation of a short period that is, indeterminately, in the past.'

Cambridge University Press The Law of Armed Conflict
Book SynopsisThis book introduces law students and undergraduates to the law of war in an age of terrorism. Gary D. Solis, who has more than twenty years of experience teaching these subjects, leads readers from the basics of armed conflict and international humanitarian law to the finer points of battlefield law.Trade Review'… the book deserves to reach a wide audience. Anyone interested in the legal aspects of how war is fought today should have this fine book on their bookshelf. The newly revised and updated third edition of this book is a masterpiece of scholarship, if for no other reason than that it focuses on the law of war conundrums that have arisen after and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. No other text takes a comprehensive look at 'artificial intelligence' in weapons and the law involved, the lawfulness of cross-border attacks when in the pursuit of terrorists, and the controversial lawfulness of “security detention” after the end of hostilities. While principally designed as a textbook for a law of war course, its clarity and compelling use of historical and contemporary examples make The Law of Armed Conflict an invaluable reference for military historians, journalists, practitioners, and the public generally.'

Cambridge University Press Political Realism in Apocalyptic Times
Book SynopsisThis book is for: anyone interested in apocalyptic thinking in politics, who will find examples of how this thinking shapes contemporary discourse; scholars of the history of political thought, who will find new interpretations of Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Morgenthau; and scholars of international relations, who will find a novel account of the political realist tradition.Trade Review'This is an excellent addition to the burgeoning literature on political realism. Straddling political theory and international relations (IR) in a fresh and creative fashion, McQueen offers us a strikingly original portrait of realist responses to apocalypse. Moving seamlessly from Machiavelli to Hobbes to Morgenthau, from early modern debates about the nature of God to modern fears of nuclear annihilation and catastrophic climate change, she tells a fascinating story that raises profound questions about the dangers and the possibilities of political theology. Combining acute textual interpretation, felicitous historical contextualisation, and subtle normative analysis, Political Realism in Apocalyptic Times makes a major contribution to political theory and international relations.' Duncan Bell, University of Cambridge'Richard Hofstadter famously coined the term 'the paranoid style' to describe a certain histrionic strand within American politics. In Political Realism in Apocalyptic Times, McQueen audaciously outdoes Hofstadter by demonstrating the more widely pervasive 'apocalyptic' style characteristic not only of American political theorizing and practice but also of modern political thought more generally. McQueen shows how and explains why the rhetoric of doomsday, visions of tribulation and redemption, and 'end times' ideologies not only persist but actually pervade the supposedly secular age. She meticulously and ingeniously traces the apocalyptic quality of the contexts in which political authors/actors such as Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Morgenthau wrote, and how this apocalypticism infiltrated their writings. The book is certain to make an enormous impact in the fields of political thought, intellectual history, and American studies, especially given the now fashionable 'theological' turn in political theory and the dramatic surge in apocalyptic politics throughout the world.' John P. McCormick, University of Chicago'Alison McQueen uses the common, apocalyptic context of their thinking to give us a novel perspective on the unlikely trio of Machiavelli, Hobbes and Morgenthau. The perspective unifies and illuminates, revealing aspects of their writings, and connections between their concerns, that are unseen in other treatments.' Philip Pettit, Princeton University, New Jersey and Australian National University, Canberra'The most important achievement of Alison McQueen's fascinating new book is that she launches an overdue conversation between and among different versions of 'realism', past and present. Shedding fresh light on Machiavelli, Hobbes, Hans Morgenthau, and other 'realists', McQueen ignores the usual disciplinary boundaries between and among competing realist brands. Hers is an indispensable contribution not only to a growing body of realist scholarship but to political science and philosophy.' William E. Scheuerman, Indiana University'The heart of the book is four case studies that attempt to contextualize the apocalyptic thinking of the Judeo-Christian tradition and the efforts to contain it by Paul and Augustine, followed by a case study each on Niccolò Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, and Hans Morgenthau. The strength of the book is in the detailed, well-researched reconstruction of the apocalyptic historical context that animated the thought of each, including Augustine.' W. J. Coats, Choice'McQueen's interpretations are compelling, and it is no mean feat to offer fresh and original readings of such well-studied thinkers, in turn asking us to ponder more carefully what it means to be a 'realist', and what the limits of such an outlook are. Furthermore, her identification of two main 'realist' responses to apocalypticism - the 'tragic worldview' and fighting apocalypse with apocalypse - are persuasive, both as matters of historical record and as analyses of the conceptual issues in play … The richness of this book stands beyond doubt, and deserves all of the attention it will surely garner.' Paul Sagar, Political Theory'At a time when the study of the theological underpinnings of political thought is gaining ground, Alison McQueen's new book is good news. As McQueen reminds us, political theorists often pass over the fact that half of Hobbes' Leviathan is a treatise on eschatology and ecclesiastical governance, or that Machiavelli concludes the Prince with a prophetic exhortation for the salvation of Italy from the 'barbarians' who periodically invaded it. Even a secularist like Morgenthau could not escape the allure of religious imagery in his most existentialist moments. McQueen's fascinating book is due credit both for bringing these associations to the fore, thus joining the chorus of the 'theological turn' in political theory, and for forensically excavating the complex engagement of some of the doyens of realist thought with the symbolic resources provided by theological ideas and texts.' Vassilios Paipais, Contemporary Political Theory'This is a book of many virtues. The central chapters combine the intellectual historian's deep sensitivity to context with the political theorist's sharp eye for conceptualizing different theoretical positions that can then be abstracted from their particular historical origins. Indeed, it is rare to read a book that combines these attributes so successfully and which answers potential objections to such an approach less by abstract methodological discussion and more by handling the texts with the care, detail and circumspection they deserve. McQueen has produced an erudite, thought-provoking and enjoyable study … a deeply impressive study of how some of the finest thinkers in the realist tradition struggled with apocalypticism in their own times, which proves to be a rewarding place to start when thinking through how we might respond to similar problems today.' Robin Douglass, Perspectives on Politics'McQueen does an excellent job at bringing together diverse thinkers and new interpretations under the aegis of the realist tradition. For those who see a sharp line between religion and politics, McQueen has offered a work that uses certain religious ideas to explain political philosophy. In fact, a fair reading of McQueen suggests that the line between religion and politics is actually quite blurry, with ideas traversing back and forth. With Political Realism in Apocalyptic Times, McQueen has done a service to the fields of international affairs, political theology, and all those interested in the use of political rhetoric.'

Verso Books The EU: An Obituary
Book SynopsisThe European Union is a besieged institution. It is struggling in vain to overcome the eurozone crisis and faces an influx of refugees not seen since World War II. The Schengen Agreement is a dead letter, and Britain stands on the brink of leaving altogether. The EU is unfit for the challenges of the coming age of increased global competition and high tech. In sum, the drive for an "ever-closer union" has set Europe on the wrong course: plunged it into depression, fuelled national antagonisms, debilitated democracy, and accelerated decline. In this pithy, rigorously argued book, leading historian John Gillingham examines a once great notion that soured long ago.From its postwar origins, through the Single Market, to the troubles of the present, Gillingham explains how Europe's would-be government became a force for anti-democratic centralization and inept policy-making. Brussels has inspired a world of illusion that now threatens to undo the undoubted achievements of integration. The EU: An Obituary is an urgent call to the political Left, Right, and Centre to act before it is too late.Trade ReviewJohn Gillingham has established himself as one of those very rare commentators who can read European history in three dimensions. -- Norman Stone, Oxford UniversityAn excellent, up-to-date history of the EU which overturns many preconceived ideas and challenges the views of Eurofanatics and Eurosceptics alike. -- lan Sked, London School of EconomicsJohn Gillingham is the pre-eminent American historian of the European Union. -- Charles S. Maier, Harvard UniversityAt a time when clear thinking about Europe's political and economic future is urgently needed, John Gillingham has provided a convincing diagnosis of the EU's present malaise and a challenging set of prescriptions which deserve to be taken seriously by Euro-philes as much as by Euro-sceptics. -- Sir Geoffrey Owen, London School of EconomicsAs a means to take corrective actions and ultimately save the EU, Gillingham pursues a historically driven reassessment of the EU's past aimed at examining missteps, discovering subsequent solutions, and offering a glimpse into a potential future. In light of the its uneven course during its years of formation, expansion, and consolidation while currently faced with systemic threats, the EU requires fundamental reforms to remain relevant in an increasingly globalized international system. * Choice *
