Les inspections internationales sont une technique courante du droit international. Les inspecteurs visitent des lieux de détention, des usines chimiques, des réacteurs nucléaires et des stations de recherche en Antarctique, pour évaluer si les règles du droit international sont respectées. Malgré cet intérêt pratique, les juristes internationaux ont eu tendance à négliger les inspections internationales, du moins en tant que catégorie générale : les études existantes tendent à se concentrer sur des régimes particuliers, fournissant beaucoup de détails mais sans réelle approche globale. Le présent ouvrage adopte une démarche différente. Il examine un large éventail de régimes d'inspection et cherche à en dégager les éléments transversaux. Tout en reflétant l'hétérogénéité des inspections, ce volume a pour principal objectif de situer les inspections internationales dans le champ plus large des moyens de contrôle du droit international et de mettre en évidence leur unité au-delà de leur diversité. Combinant des perspectives panoramiques et kaléidoscopiques, les seize chapitres du volume encouragent les juristes internationaux à s'engager encore dans l'étude des inspections internationales. International inspections are a common technique of international law. Inspectors visit prison camps, chemical factories, nuclear reactors, and research stations in Antarctica -- to assess whether the provisions of international law are complied with. But notwithstanding this practical relevance, international lawyers have tended to neglect international inspections, at least as a general category: what studies exist, tend to focus on particular regimes, providing much detail but insufficient orientation. The present volume takes a different approach. It looks at a wide range of inspection regimes and seeks to identify cross-cutting issues. While reflecting their heterogeneity, its central aim is to situate international inspections in the wider field of international law's means of control and to highlight elements of unity in diversity. Combining panoramic and kaleidoscopic perspectives, the volume's sixteen chapters encourage international lawyers to engage more fully with international inspections.

Traditional analyses of global security cannot explain the degree to which there is "governance" of important security issues ? from combatting piracy to curtailing nuclear proliferation to reducing the contributions of extractive industries to violence and conflict. They are even less able to explain why contemporary governance schemes involve the various actors and take the many forms they do. Juxtaposing the insights of scholars writing about new modes of governance with the logic of network theory, The New Power Politics offers a framework for understanding contemporary security governance and its variation. The framework rests on a fresh view of power and how it works in global politics. Though power is integral to governance, it is something that emerges from, and depends on, relationships. Thus, power is dynamic; it is something that governors must continually cultivate with a wide range of consequential global players, and how a governor uses power in one situation can have consequences for her future relationships, and thus, future power. Understanding this new power politics is crucial for explaining and shaping the future of global security politics. This stellar group of scholars analyzes both the networking strategies of would-be governors and their impacts on the effectiveness of governance and whether it reflects broad or narrow concerns on a wide range of contemporary governance issues.

If the rise of Islamic State can overthrow powerful states in a matter of weeks, what kind of a secure future can the world expect? After more than a decade of the war on terror, security specialists thought that Islamist paramilitary movements were in decline; the threat from ISIS in Syria and Iraq, Boko Haram in Nigeria, al-Qaida in Yemen, the chaos in Libya and the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan have all shown that to be wishful thinking. Once again the West is at war in the Middle East. Paul Rogers, the distinguished global security specialist, provides a much-needed look at the rise of such global terrorist movements from the margins and presents a new argument as troubling as it is compelling. While Islamic State has taken root in the Middle East and North Africa and has increasing impact across the world as thousands of young men and women rally to its cause, Rogers argues that it should be seen not just as a threat in its own right but as a marker of a much more dangerous world riddled with irregular war.
