| Global Policymaking This book analyzes the politics of global governance by looking at how globalpolicymakingactuallyworks.Itprovidesacomprehensivetheoret- icalandmethodologicalframeworkwhichissystematicallyappliedtothe study of three global policies drawn from recent UN activities: the adop- tionoftheSustainableDevelopmentGoalsin2015,theinstitutionalization of the Human Rights Council from 2005 onward, and the ongoing pro- motionoftheprotectionofciviliansinpeaceoperations.Byunpackingthe practices and the values that have prevailed in these three cases, the authors demonstrate how global policymaking forms a patchwork per- vaded by improvisation and social conflict. They also show how global governance embodies a particular vision of the common good at the expense of alternative perspectives. The book will appeal to students and scholars of global governance, international organizations, and global policystudies. vincent pouliot specializesinthestudyofglobalgovernance,specific- allythe politics of multilateral diplomacy, changing and hybridpractices, andglobalhistory.HehasauthoredorcoeditedsixbookswithCambridge University Press, including International Pecking Orders (2016), Diplomacy and the Making of World Politics (2015), and International Practices(2011). jean-philippe the´rien’s work focuses on international organizations and global governance.
