Books in the Routledge Global Cooperation Series series

This book aims to pave the way for a new interdisciplinary approach to global cooperation research. It does so by bringing in disciplines whose insights about human behaviour might provide a crucial yet hitherto neglected foundation for understanding how and under which conditions global cooperation can succeed. It provides the state of the art on human cooperation in selected disciplines (evolutionary anthropology, decision-sciences, social psychology, complexity sciences), written by leading experts. The book also offers reflections on how to deal with the epistemological and methodological challenges that arise when bringing micro, meso and macro levels together.

Power and Authority in Internet Governance investigates the hotly contested role of the state in today's digital society. The book asks: is the state "back" in internet regulation? If so, what forms are state involvement taking, and with what consequences for the future?

In recent years, many constitutions in Africa have been drafted anew or considerably revised, with the "international community" often encouraging participatory constitution making processes. This book questions the glorification of public participation and explains what lessons can be drawn from experiences of public participation in practice.

This book investigates how actors in complex governance arrangements assign and negotiate responsibilities to order the world. The book asks how moral duties can be defined beyond the confines of the nation-state; and how accountability mechanisms for a post-national world, in which responsibility remains vague and contested, can be established.

Written by leading experts, this volume brings together `liberal¿ and `post-liberal¿ approaches to peacebuilding. Besides challenging dominant peacebuilding paradigms, the book scrutinizes how far key concepts of post-liberal peacebuilding offer sound categories and new perspectives to reframe peacebuilding research. It thus moves beyond the `liberal¿¿`post-liberal¿ divide and systematically integrates further perspectives (democratization research and political economy, conflict resolution, gender, comparative studies), paving the way for a new era in peacebuilding research which is theory-guided, but also substantiated in the empirical analysis of peacebuilding practices.

Humanitarianism as a moral concept and an organized practice has become a major factor in world society. It channels an enormous amount of resources and serves as an argument for different kinds of interference into the "internal affairs" of countries and regions. At the same time, and for these very reasons, it is an ideal testing ground for successful and unsuccessful cooperation across borders. Humanitarianism and the Challenges of Cooperation examines the multiple humanitarianisms of today as a testing ground for new ways of global cooperation. General trends in the contemporary transformation of humanitarianism are studied and individual cases of how humanitarian actors cooperate with others on the ground are investigated. This book offers a highly innovative, empirically informed account of global humanitarianism from the point of view of cooperation research in which internationally renowned contributors analyse broad trends and present case studies based on meticulous fieldwork. This book will be of great interest to students and researchers in the areas of political science, international relations and humanitarianism. It is also a valuable resource for humanitarian aid workers.
