It provides its readers with critical analysis of the key concepts of multilateral global and regional governance and Europe's role in the world; and this in an accessible and intelligible fashion. This volume collects contributions by eminent scholars from world class universities from five different continents. As such, this unique exercise in transnational multi-disciplinary cooperation, provides extensive coverage of the main issues pertaining to multilateral cooperation - notably its history, troubles, legitimacy challenges and efficiency questions - from a variety of national perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book covers the major issues confronting students of European and global studies, amongst which: pressing security challenges, new forms of institutionalized cooperation, shifting international trade flows, the notion of responsibility to pr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This may be the most multi-dimensional textbook in international politics ever published. Its multiple authors are multi-cultural and even multi-continental; its approach is multi-disciplinary and multi-layered; its topics are multi-lateralism and multi-polarism; its units of analysis are multi-regional and multi-functional; its observations are multi-faceted and multi-cautious. If this were not enough, they are all brought to bear on the multi-ambiguous process of globalization! Nevertheless, it does manage to present a coherent and challenging message to the advanced student of political science - whether he or she is interested in the national, regional of global level of aggregation. This owes a great deal to the exceptional quality of its contributors and the innovative program that brought them together.' \u003cem\u003ePhilippe C.
