Download or read book Non-State Actors in World Politics written by D. Josselin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-10-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The involvement of non-state actors in world politics can hardly be characterised as novel, but intensifying economic and social exchange and the emergence of new modes of international governance have given them much greater visibility and, many would argue, a more central role. Non-state Actors in World Politics offers analyses of a diverse range of economic, social, legal (and illegal), old and new actors, such as the Catholic Church, trade unions, diasporas, religious movements, transnational corporations and organised crime.

Book Synopsis The Frailty of Authority by : Lorenzo Kamel
Download or read book The Frailty of Authority written by Lorenzo Kamel and published by Edizioni Nuova Cultura. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governance failures, combined with 21st-century social, economic, environmental and demographic conditions, have all contributed to paving the way for the rise of highly heterogeneous non-state and quasi-state actors in the Middle East. Has the state, then, been irremediably undermined, or will the current transition lead to the emergence of new state entities? How can the crumbling of states and the redrawing of borders be reconciled with the exacerbation of traditional inter-state competition, including through proxy wars? How can a new potential regional order be framed and imagined? This volume provides a historical background and policy answers to these and a number of other related questions, analysing developments in the region from the standpoint of the interplay between disintegration and polarization.
Book Synopsis Global Governance and the Role of Non-state Actors by : Gunnar Folke Schuppert
Download or read book Global Governance and the Role of Non-state Actors written by Gunnar Folke Schuppert and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2006 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a conference organized by the Social Science Research Centre Berlin (WZB), the Alfred Herrhausen Society, The International Forum of the Deutsche Bank, and the Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation (CARR) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in November 2004 in London. Changes in statehood are one of the main indicators of a shift in the focus of governance onto the global level. This is manifested most clearly in the emergence and growing importance of actors that are no longer tied to national or state contexts in the traditional way, as with national parliaments, government ministries, or administrative bodies. The age of global governance is an age of international actors, such as the WTO, and of non-state actors, such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and transnational corporations (TNCs). The aim of the conference was to take a closer look at these non-state actors, the scope of their activities, the way they operate, and the extent to which they are perhaps more appropriately classified as "governance actors", given their function as regulators and standard setters, tasks more traditionally associated with the state.
Book Synopsis Non-State Actors in International Law by : Math Noortmann
Download or read book Non-State Actors in International Law written by Math Noortmann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role and position of non-state actors in international law is the subject of a long-standing and intensive scholarly debate. This book explores the participation of this new category of actors in an international legal system that has historically been dominated by states. It explores the most important issues, actors and theoretical approaches with respect to these new participants in international law. It provides the reader with a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of the most important legal and political developments and perspectives. Relevant non-state actors discussed in this volume include, in particular, international governmental organisations, international non-governmental organisations, multinational companies, investors and armed opposition groups. Their legal position is considered in relation to specific issue-areas, such as humanitarian law, human rights, the use of force and international responsibility. The main legal theories on non-state actors' position in international law – neo-positivism, the policy-oriented approach and transnational law – are covered at the beginning of the book, and the essential political science perspectives – on non-state actors' role in international politics and globalisation, as well as their soft power – are presented at the end.
Book Synopsis Governing Globalization by : Anthony McGrew
Download or read book Governing Globalization written by Anthony McGrew and published by Polity. This book was released on 2002-12-20 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the UN's creation in 1945 a vast nexus of global and regional institutions has evolved, surrounded by a proliferation of non-governmental agencies and advocacy networks seeking to influence the agenda and direction of international public policy. Although world government remains a fanciful idea, there does exist an evolving global governance complex - embracing states, international institutions, transnational networks and agencies (both public and private) - which functions, with variable effect, to promote, regulate or intervene in the common affairs of humanity. This book provides an accessible introduction to the current debate about the changing form and political significance of global governance. It brings together original contributions from many of the best-known theorists and analysts of global politics to explore the relevance of the concept of global governance to understanding how global activity is currently regulated. Furthermore, it combines an elucidation of substantive theories with a systematic analysis of the politics and limits of governance in key issue areas - from humanitarian intervention to the regulation of global finance. Thus, the volume provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical assessment of the shift from national government to multilayered global governance. Governing Globalization is the third book in the internationally acclaimed series on global transformations. The other two volumes are Global Transformations: Politics, Economics and Culture and The Global Transformations Reader: An Introduction to the Globalization Debate.
Book Synopsis The UNHCR and the Supervision of International Refugee Law by : James C. Simeon
Download or read book The UNHCR and the Supervision of International Refugee Law written by James C. Simeon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and its 1967 Protocol, and many other important international instruments recognize the unique role the UNHCR plays in protecting refugees and supervising international refugee law. This in-depth analysis of the UNHCR's supervisory role in the international refugee protection regime examines the part played by key institutions, organizations and actors in the supervision of international refugee law. It provides suggestions and recommendations on how the UNHCR's supervisory role can be strengthened to ensure greater State Parties' compliance to their obligations under these international refugee rights treaties, and contributes to enhancing the international protection of refugees and to the promotion of a democratic global governance of the international refugee protection regime.

Book Synopsis Non-State Actors as Standard Setters by : Anne Peters
Download or read book Non-State Actors as Standard Setters written by Anne Peters and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-24 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis of 'globalised' standard-setting processes draws together insights from law, political sciences, sociology and social anthropology to assess the authority and accountability of non-state actors and the legitimacy and effectiveness of the processes. The essays offer new understandings of current governance problems, including environmental and financial standards, rules for military contractors and complex public-private partnerships, such as those intended to protect critical information infrastructure. The contributions also evaluate multi-stakeholder initiatives (such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative), and discuss the constitution of public norms in stateless areas. A synopsis of the latest results of the World Governance Indicator, arguably one of the most important surveys in the area today, is included.
Book Synopsis Activists beyond Borders by : Margaret E. Keck
Download or read book Activists beyond Borders written by Margaret E. Keck and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Activists beyond Borders, Margaret E. Keck and Kathryn Sikkink examine a type of pressure group that has been largely ignored by political analysts: networks of activists that coalesce and operate across national frontiers. Their targets may be international organizations or the policies of particular states. Historical examples of such transborder alliances include anti-slavery and woman suffrage campaigns. In the past two decades, transnational activism has had a significant impact in human rights, especially in Latin America, and advocacy networks have strongly influenced environmental politics as well. The authors also examine the emergence of an international campaign around violence against women.
Book Synopsis A Theory of Global Governance by : Michael Zürn
Download or read book A Theory of Global Governance written by Michael Zürn and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a major new theory of global governance, explaining both its rise and what many see as its current crisis. The author suggests that world politics is now embedded in a normative and institutional structure dominated by hierarchies and power inequalities and therefore inherently creates contestation, resistance, and distributional struggles. Within an ambitious and systematic new conceptual framework, the theory makes four key contributions. Firstly, it reconstructs global governance as a political system which builds on normative principles and reflexive authorities. Second, it identifies the central legitimation problems of the global governance system with a constitutionalist setting in mind. Third, it explains the rise of state and societal contestation by identifying key endogenous dynamics and probing the causal mechanisms that produced them. Finally, it identifies the conditions under which struggles in the global governance system lead to decline or deepening. Rich with propositions, insights, and evidence, the book promises to be the most important and comprehensive theoretical argument about world politics of the 21st century.
Book Synopsis New Modes of Governance in the Global System by : M. Koenig-Archibugi
Download or read book New Modes of Governance in the Global System written by M. Koenig-Archibugi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-11-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization processes are propelling a transformation of governance. As political problems become more transnational, public as well as private actors increasingly perform governance activities beyond the level of individual states. This book examines the wide variety of forms that governance can take in the global system and their consequences. An overarching analytical framework is applied to global institutions and initiatives in areas such as trade liberalization, financial market regulation, privacy protection, cybercrime, and food safety.
Book Synopsis Power in Global Governance by : Michael Barnett
Download or read book Power in Global Governance written by Michael Barnett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-12-23 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume examines power in its different dimensions in global governance. Scholars tend to underestimate the importance of power in international relations because of a failure to see its multiple forms. To expand the conceptual aperture, this book presents and employs a taxonomy that alerts scholars to the different kinds of power that are present in world politics. A team of international scholars demonstrate how these different forms connect and intersect in global governance in a range of different issue areas. Bringing together a variety of theoretical perspectives, this volume invites scholars to reconsider their conceptualization of power in world politics and how such a move can enliven and enrich their understanding of global governance.
