Description
Book Synopsis* An accessible introduction to a key concept in political science and related disciplines. * Global governance is a contested concept with several competing definitions; this book gives a clear overview of the relevant debates.
Trade Review"This is exactly what the field needs: a refreshing approach that gets us beyond stale ways of thinking about global governance. Novel and engaging from the off, Sinclair's book is first rate. It is a must for anyone looking to get to grips with this important topic."
Rorden Wilkinson, University of Manchester "A highly original and provocative analysis which ranges from abstract theory to grounded family relations. More than a primer, this excellent text will stimulate extensive thought and debate on global governance."
Robert O’Brien, McMaster University "In this important and innovative book Tim Sinclair provides a searching critique of the concept of global governance, arguing that its greatest value is in directing our attention to the increasing number of political problems which can no longer be solved by national governments."
Andrew Gamble, University of Cambridge
