On global order: power, values, and the constitution of international society

"How is the world organized politically? What forms of international political organization are required to deal with such problems as climate change, nuclear proliferation or the management of globalization? Drawing on work in International Relations, International Law and Global Governance, this book aims to provide a clear and wide-ranging introduction to the analysis of global political order. Connecting classical arguments with contemporary theories, it explores the fate of international society in an era of globalization and asks how it has confronted its three most fundamental challenges the promotion of common interest; the management of unequal power; and the mediation of diversity and conflicting values."--BOOK JACKET
