States and Nature

The Effects of Climate Change on Security Joshua Busby | University of Texas, Austin Busby explains how climate change can affect security outcomes, including violent conflict and humanitarian emergencies.

The Ebb and Flow of Global Governance

Intergovernmentalism versus Nongovernmentalism in World Politics Alexandru Grigorescu | Loyola University, Chicago Challenges traditional classifications of international organizations as either governmentrun or nongovernmental. By considering them as complex mixes of the two that exist on a continuum, subtle changes in global governance can be observed. Such changes tend to repeat themselves, and we may soon experience a return to past trends. • Introduces the ground-breaking concept of an intergovernmentalnongovernmental continuum in world politics • Offers a much more fine-tuned understanding of international relations that allows us to observe developments that previously had been neglected • Offers novel and intriguing examples of changes in world politics that suggest that we may soon experience a return to past trends

The Sovereignty Cartel

J. Samuel Barkin | University of Massachusetts, Boston Often we hear about sovereignty as competitive, requiring protection from other states. Barkin argues that states are invested in sovereignty as a property exclusive to states, above any competition. Sovereignty is a collusion, a cartel, through which states maintain otherwise-unjustifiable exclusive property-related privileges. • Provides a unique, strong, cross-paradigmatic and interdisciplinary account of what sovereignty is and how it functions • Demonstrates theoretical arguments using a wide variety of examples from different places in the world, different times in history, and different substantive contexts • Presents a new perspective on sovereignty as a set of rights structured by normative dissonance

• Demonstrates that international threats since 1945 have been inflated • Highlights the autonomous power of ideas and their great consequences • Questions the need for a large military and the effectiveness of
