{"product_id":"a-crisis-of-global-institutions-edward-newman-9780415411646","title":"A Crisis of Global Institutions?: Multilateralism and International Security","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe legitimacy of global institutions which address security challenges is in question. The manner in which they make decisions and the interests they reflect often falls short of twenty-first century expectations and norms of good governance. Also, their performance has raised doubts about their ability to address contemporary challenges such as civil wars, weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, and the use of military force in international politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddressing topical issues, such as the war against Iraq in 2003 and terrorism, and presenting provocative arguments, \u003cem\u003eA Crisis of Global Institutions?\u003c\/em\u003e explores the sources of the challenge to multilateralism - including US pre-eminence, the changing nature of international security, and normative concerns about the way decisions are taken in international organizations. Edward Newman argues that whilst some such challenges are a sign of 'crisis', many others are representative of 'normality' and continuity in international relations. Nevertheless, it is essential to consider how multilateralism might be more viably constituted to cope with contemporary and future demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415411645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415411646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 6.25w x 0.64d","brand":"Edward Newman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136083308799,"sku":"9780415411646","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91876f28-5d11-43ef-a721-1d2fc3aa4a5a.jpg?v=1770160399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-crisis-of-global-institutions-edward-newman-9780415411646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
