Global Institutions Edited by Thomas G. Weiss The CUNY Graduate Center, New York, USA and Rorden Wilkinson University of Sussex, Brighton, UK About the series The “Global Institutions Series” provides cutting-edge books about many aspects of what we know as “global governance.” It emerges from our shared frustrations with the state of available knowledge— electronic and print-wise, for research and teaching—in the area. The series is designed as a resource for those interested in exploring issues of international organization and global governance. And since the first volumes appeared in 2005, we have taken significant strides toward filling conceptual gaps. Theseriesconsistsofthreerelated“streams”distinguishedbytheirblue, red, and green covers. The blue volumes, comprising the majority of the books in the series, provide user-friendly and short (usually no more than 50,000 words) but authoritative guides to major global and regionalorganizations,aswellaskeyissuesintheglobalgovernanceof security, the environment, human rights, poverty, and humanitarian action among others. Thebookswith red covers are designed to present originalresearchandserveasextendedandmorespecializedtreatmentsof issuespertinentforadvancingunderstandingaboutglobalgovernance.And thevolumeswithgreencovers—themostrecentdepartureintheseries— are comprehensive and accessible accounts of the major theoretical approaches to global governance and international organization. The books in each of the streams are written by experts in the field, ranging from the most senior and respected authors to first-rate scho- lars at the beginningoftheircareers.Incombination,thethreecompo- nents of the series—blue, red, and green—serve as key resources for faculty, students, and practitioners alike. The works in the blue and green streams have value as core and complementaryreadingsincour- seson,amongotherthings,internationalorganization,globalgovernance, international law, international relations, and international political econ- omy; the red volumes allow further reflection and investigation in these and related areas. The books in the series also provide a segue to the foundation volume that offers the most comprehensive textbook treatment avail- able dealing with all the major issues, approaches, institutions, and actors in contemporary global governance—our edited work Interna- tional Organization and Global Governance (2014)—avolume to which manyof the authors in the series have contributed essays. Understanding global governance—past, present, and future—is far from a finished journey. The books in this series nonetheless represent significant steps toward a better way of conceiving contemporary pro- blems and issues as well as, hopefully, doing something to improve world order. We value the feedback from our readers and their role in helping shape the on-going development of the series. A complete list of titles appears at the end of this book.
