This volume advances understanding of the significance of 'the city' in global governance, demanding innovation in international relations theory. A rich assortment of case studies adds breadth to theorizing of the role sub-national political actors play in global affairs. Each of the eight case studies demonstrates different intersections between the local and the global and how these intersections alter the conditions resulting from globalizing processes.

L’expression « communauté internationale » est victime de son propre succès. Son caractère rassurant – qui évoque une conception harmonieuse du système international par la mise en valeur de ses forces unificatrices – en a fait l’instrument favori des savants qui enquêtent sur la logique interne de la société mondiale et de tous ceux qui cherchent, même en dehors des sciences sociales, à rallier l’opinion publique à une cause réclamée « universelle ». De nos jours, on fait souvent « appel à la communauté internationale », on s’insurge contre des actes « portant atteinte aux intérêts » de celle-ci, on parle ou agit « en son nom »... Malheureusement, cet emploi généralisé a fini par brouiller le sens exact de l’expression : la notion de « communauté internationale » apparaît déterminée autant par les idéaux et les intérêts de celui qui l’invoque que par l’objet ou les buts qui l’ont décidé à y faire appel. Dans le cadre d’une recherche portant sur le droit des gens, l’expression constitue donc un point de départ à la fois attrayant – puisqu’il fait allusion à un concept bien connu, autant par le juriste international que par le profane – et dangereux – parce que ambigu. La présente étude relève ce défi. Elle utilise le concept de « communauté internationale » pour chercher à comprendre certaines évolutions fondamentales de l’ordre juridique international. Après avoir proposé une définition de ce concept et décrit ses diverses manifestations dans le droit contemporain (jus cogens, obligations erga omnes, responsabilité pénale internationale, etc.), elle s’intéresse plus particulièrement au domaine, maintes fois débattu, de la responsabilité des États. Grâce à un examen attentif de la théorie et de la pratique dans ce domaine, et notamment des travaux de la Commission du droit international, l’étude propose une systématisation de la responsabilité des États pour violation d’obligations dues à la communauté internationale dans son ensemble, décrivant tour à tour le…

John Keane, a leading scholar of political theory, tracks the recent development of a big idea with fresh potency - global civil society. In this timely book, Keane explores the contradictory forces currently nurturing or threatening its growth, and he shows how talk of global civil society implies a political vision of a less violent world, founded on legally sanctioned power-sharing arrangements among different and intermingling forms of socio-economic life. Keane's reflections are pitted against the widespread feeling that the world is both too complex and too violent to deserve serious reflection. His account borrows from various scholarly disciplines, including political science and international relations, to challenge the silence and confusion within much of contemporary literature on globalisation and global governance. Against fears of terrorism, rising tides of xenophobia, and loose talk of 'anti-globalisation', the defence of global civil society mounted here implies the need for new democratic ways of living.

Recently, a wall was built in eastern Germany. Made of steel and cement blocks, topped with razor barbed wire, and reinforced with video monitors and movement sensors, this wall was not put up to protect a prison or a military base, but rather to guard a three-day meeting of the finance ministers of the Group of Eight (G8). The wall manifested a level of security that is increasingly commonplace at meetings regarding the global economy. The authors of Shutting Down the Streets have directly observed and participated in more than 20 mass actions against global in North America and Europe, beginning with the watershed 1999 WTO meetings in Seattle and including the 2007 G8 protests in Heiligendamm. Shutting Down the Streets is the first book to conceptualize the social control of dissent in the era of alterglobalization. Based on direct observation of more than 20 global summits, the book demonstrates that social control is not only global, but also preemptive, and that it relegates dissent to the realm of criminality. The charge is insurrection, but the accused have no weapons. The authors document in detail how social control forecloses the spaces through which social movements nurture the development of dissent and effect disruptive challenges.

When the UN adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007, it brought the negative effect of globalization on the lives of Indigenous peoples to the centre of public debate. The contributors to this innovative collection extend the discussion by asking what can Indigenous peoples' experiences with and thoughts on globalization tell us about the relationship between globalization and autonomy and the meaning of the concepts themselves? Indigenous Peoples and Autonomy brings together scholars from multiple disciplines and backgrounds who seek answers to this question in grounded case studies. Whether the focus is on sea rights among Torres Strait Islanders, James Bay Cree co-governance, the transformation of East Cree spirituality, or the co-optation of linguistics by Mayan activists, each chapter opens a window to view how Iindigenous people are engaging with and challenging globalization and Western views of autonomy.

Rooted in real world observations, this book questions the concept of tradition - whether contemporary globalization will prove its demise or whether there is a process of simultaneous ending and renewing. In his introduction, Nezar Alsayyad discusses the meaning of the word 'tradition' and the current debates about the 'end of tradition'. Thereafter the book is divided into three parts. The three chapters in part I explore the inextricable link between 'tradition' and 'modern', revealing the geopolitical implications of this link. Part II looks at tradition as a process of invention a

Over the past three decades the effects of globalization and denationalization have created a division between 'winners' and 'losers' in Western Europe. This study examines the transformation of party political systems in six countries (Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK) using opinion surveys, as well as newly collected data on election campaigns. The authors argue that, as a result of structural transformations and the strategic repositioning of political parties, Europe has observed the emergence of a tripolar configuration of political power, comprising the left, the moderate right, and the new populist right. They suggest that, through an emphasis on cultural issues such as mass immigration and resistance to European integration, the traditional focus of political debate - the economy - has been downplayed or reinterpreted in terms of this new political cleavage. This new analysis of Western European politics will interest all students of European politics and political sociology.
