Global Capitalism and the Crisis of Humanity William I. Robinson

Greening the Globe World Society and Environmental Change Ann Hironaka University of California, Irvine

Globalization has moved us toward becoming a world society with a common culture. Greening the Globe argues that international efforts to address environmental problems are often successful in the long run by setting the political agenda, by empowering environmental groups and citizens, and by changing our perceptions of environmental problems. ‘Greening the Globe applies the world society perspective to understand the emergence and institutionalization of an international environmental regime. But Hironaka goes beyond policy diffusion to examine actual changes in environmental outcomes. This is a must-read for scholars interested in global social change dynamics regardless of their theoretical orientation.’ Francisco Ramirez, Stanford University 2014 228 x 152 mm 216pp 6 b/w illus. 978-1-107-03154-8 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 For all formats available, see

‘In this thoughtful and informative study, William I. Robinson carries forward the theory of global capitalism that he has presented in earlier work, applying it to the severe crises of an unprecedented moment of human history, when decisions directly affect the prospects for decent survival. The perspective that he develops is a most valuable one, broadly researched and carefully analyzed, addressing issues of utmost importance.’ Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor (retired), Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2014 228 x 152 mm 252pp 978-1-107-06747-9 Hardback £55.00 / US$80.00 978-1-107-69111-7 Paperback £19.99 / US$29.99 For all formats available, see

have succeeded in limiting violence. It analyzes the strategic logic of compliance with treaty law to show the practical problems faced by any such system. ‘Inspired by game theory, Order within Anarchy persuasively argues that international law restrains violence on the battlefield by fostering mutual expectations. Cutting across lines of cleavage in international relations theory, and using a full panoply of research methods, Morrow shows in compelling fashion when and how law can be effective in regulating selfinterested behavior, even under the most challenging conditions.’ David A.
