The Many Paths of Change in International Law
The Many Paths of Change in International Law analyses drivers, conditions, and consequences of change across the different fields of international law. Tracing change processes and the conditions that facilitate and hinder their success, the book paints complex and varied picture of an international legal order in flux.
International Law in a Multipolar World
Since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, international law has sought to configure itself as a universal system. Yet, despite the best efforts of international institutions, scholars and others to assert the universal application of international law, its relevance and applicability has been influenced, if not directed, by political power.Today, the "decline of the West" and ascent of China and India poseparticular challenges for international law and institutions. The international system appears to be moving towards multipolarity, with various sites of power competing to exert influence in the world today. With contributors from a variety of countries providing perspectives from t...
Quantum-Social Investigations across Transnational Movements
This book weaves theoretical-empirical threads beyond pragmatic philosophy, quantum cosmology and world affairs. It offers a “quantum-social” approach to inquire solidarity configurations among transnational movements. The first part of the book develops an integrative framework to foreground “quantum-type” features of social fields, virtual movements, and complex encounters. Quantum conceptual keys open new gates for macro-theorizing of “non-locality” and comprehending fields around cognate disciplines like psychology and sociology as well as international studies. Accordingly, emotional “indeterminacy” is found fundamental for understanding mesoscopic dynamics of virtual mo...
The Palgrave Handbook of International Political Theory
This handbook provides an exploration of the field of International Political Theory (IPT), which in its broadest terms, examines the ways in which ideas about justice, sovereignty, and legitimacy shape international politics. It is a comprehensive resource for those interested in understanding the philosophical, political, and legal issues that arise from interactions between states, peoples, and global actors. The two volumes of the handbook cover a wide range of topics, from the foundations of international political thought to the latest debates in the field.

Practice Theory and International Relations
Advances our understanding of global and international relations through a ground-breaking philosophical analysis of social practices indebted to Oakeshott, Wittgenstein and Hegel.
Demands of Justice
Clark demonstrates how human rights advocates developed unique tools to oppose human rights violations and seek justice in global politics.
European Union Communities of Practice
This book provides a practice-based analysis of European Union (EU) diplomacy and community-building. Unlike studies focusing on how EU community-building proceeds centrally in Brussels, this book turns to EU diplomacy in its bordering state of Ukraine. At a time when the EU’s internal cohesion is being put to the test, this book provides novel insights into how feelings of belonging are produced amongst its members in the absence of a homogenous ‘we’. Transcending the traditional dichotomy between macro-structures and micro-processes of interaction, the book demonstrates that the EU’s large-scale community depends for its existence on practical instantiations of community-building i...
Hobbesian Internationalism
This book sets out to re-examine the foundations of Thomas Hobbes’s political philosophy, and to develop a Hobbesian normative theory of international relations. Its central thesis is that two concepts – anarchy and authority – constitute the core of Hobbes's political philosophy whose aim is to justify the state. The Hobbesian state is a type of authority (juridical, public, coercive, and supreme) which emerges under conditions of anarchy ('state of nature'). A state-of-nature argument makes a difference because it justifies authority without appeal to moral obligation. The book shows that the closest analogue of a Hobbesian authority in international relations is Kant's confederation of free states, where states enjoy 'anarchical' (equal) freedom. At present, this crucial form of freedom is being threatened by economic processes of globalisation, and by the resurgence of private authority across state borders.
La diplomatie migratoire de la Serbie
Au croisement des routes migratoires reliant l’Orient à l’Occident, la Serbie occupe une position géopolitique clé dans le dispositif migratoire européen. Pays candidat à l’adhésion à l’Union européenne, elle est devenue un terrain d’expérimentation des politiques d’externalisation, de sécurisation et d’européanisation des migrations et de l’asile. Cet ouvrage propose une analyse approfondie des dynamiques à l’œuvre entre 2015 et 2023, période marquée par l’intensification des flux migratoires, le durcissement des politiques frontalières et la montée en puissance de la diplomatie migratoire. En s’appuyant sur le cas serbe, il examine comment l’UE, mai...
