Customary International Law in Times of Fundamental Change
The first book to explore the concept of 'Grotian Moments', named for Hugo Grotius, who helped marshal in the modern system of international law.
The Case for Case Studies
"Preface This volume was conceived, as we suspect are many such ventures, during an informal conversation - in this instance, in Berlin in December 2014, at the launch of the Global Delivery Initiative. All three of us were engaged with different aspects of international development, and producing or using case studies with some frequency, but we found ourselves noting that while case studies remained widely deployed across the social sciences, and that expressions such as 'the case of' were ubiquitous even in everyday speech, case studies per se remained in something of a residual methodological space - they were popularly conceived as 'qualitative', for example, yet one could find many ins...
Contemporary Issues and Challenges in Public Financial Management
Public financial management (PFM) has gone through a period of intense change since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008-2009 and its aftermath. The implications from the GFC alongside the Covid-19 crisis, the Ukraine-Russia war, and the associated energy crises have had profound implications for how countries conduct their fiscal, tax, and budgetary policies. There has also been a huge growth of interest in “green” fiscal policy, in the challenges of income and gender inequality, and in the management of public infrastructure, and in digitalization. This book offers a deeper and more selective analysis of PFM topics that have either been profoundly affected by the GFC and subsequen...

The Routledge Handbook of Anti-Corruption Research and Practice
The Routledge Handbook of Anti-Corruption Research and Practice takes a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach to provide a comprehensive exploration of the processes, conditions, and activities that hold the potential to control corruption. Building on existing knowledge gathered from a variety of social science sources, it strives to provide analytical emancipation of, and coherence to, anti-corruption studies. Anti-corruption transcends the traditional boundaries of state actors, involving individual and organizational business actors, civil society groups, members of the media, accounting, and legal professions, as well as sports associations and other non-traditional actors. Th...

It will interest scholars and students across the social sciences using case studies, and provide constructive guidance to practitioners in development and public administration.
Drones and Global Order
This book explores the implications of drone warfare for the legitimacy of global order. The literature on drone warfare has evolved from studying the proliferation of drones, to measuring their effectiveness, to exploring their legal, moral, and ethical impacts. These "three waves" of scholarship do not, however, address the implications of drone warfare for global order. This book fills the gap by contributing to a "fourth wave" of literature concerned with the trade-offs imposed by drone warfare for global order. The book draws on the "English School" of International Relations Theory, which is premised on the existence of a society of states bounded by common norms, values, and instituti...
