GLOBAL INSTITUTIONS SERIES

2nd Edition

The United Nations and Human Rights A Guide for a New Era Julie Mertus, American University, Washington DC, USA ‘Julie Mertus is a rare academic, one who combines serious scholarship with extensive experience of human rights practice and the ability to communicate her passion for her subjectmatter to a wide audience. Her concise and readable work was widely welcomed when it appeared in 2005, and this new edition will not disappoint. She has now provided an incisive and informed response to the Human Rights Council and the Global Compact, as well as bringing the whole text up to date. As Mertus concludes, ’the promise of human rights remains unfulfilled’; but she shows how the United Nations is working, against the odds, to turn ideals into practice. Students, activists and scholars will all benefit from this splendid short guide.‘ - Bill Bowring, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK 2009: 216 x 138: 224pp Hb: 978-0-415-49132-7: $110.00 Pb: 978-0-415-49140-2: $29.95 eBook: 978-0-203-87801-9 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415491402

Commonwealth

A Crisis of Global Institutions?

Inter- and Non-State Contributions to Global Governance

Multilateralism and International Security

The International Committee of the Red Cross

Edward Newman, University of Birmingham, UK

A Neutral Humanitarian Actor

Timothy M. Shaw, University of the West Indies, Trinidad

Addressing topical issues, such as the war against Iraq in 2003 and terrorism, and presenting provocative arguments, A Crisis of Global Institutions? explores the sources of the challenge to multilateralism – including US pre-eminence, the changing nature of international security, and normative concerns about the way decisions are taken in international organizations. Edward Newman argues that whilst some such challenges are a sign of ‘crisis’, many others are representative of ‘normality’ and continuity in international relations. Nevertheless, it is essential to consider how multilateralism might be more viably constituted to cope with contemporary and future demands.

David P. Forsythe, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA and Barbara Ann J. Rieffer-Flanagan, Central Washington University, USA

The inter-state and non-state Commonwealth networks are rather unknown features of contemporary ’global governance’ yet they play a key part in supporting it. This is a fascinating exploration of these crucial webs of influence and power. 2007: 216 x 138: 176pp Hb: 978-0-415-35120-1: $140.00 Pb: 978-0-415-35121-8: $25.95 eBook: 978-0-203-93732-7 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415351218

Routledge History of International Organizations From 1815 to the Present Day Bob Reinalda, Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands

'An Indispensable reference for the student of international affairs interested in diplomatic history or contemporary politics, from the Congress of Vienna to the age of globalization. Analysis of context plus documentary texts renders the book particularly attractive.' Ilter Turan, Istanbul Bilgi University, Turkey 'This thorough and comprehensive history will be the starting point for historians of international organizations for many years to come.' Craig N. Murphy, Wellesley College, USA This is a definitive and comprehensive history of international organizations from their very beginning at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 up to the present day, and provides the reader with nearly two centuries of world history seen from the perspective of international organizations. It covers the three main fields of international relations: security, economics and the humanitarian domain which often overlap in international organizations. As well as global and intercontinental organizations, the book also covers regional international organizations and international non-governmental organizations in all continents. The book progresses chronologically but also provides a thematic and geographical coherence so that related developments can be discussed together. A series of detailed tables, figures, charts and information boxes explain the chronologies, structures and relationships of international organizations. There are biographies, histories and analysis of hundreds of international organizations. This is an essential reference work with direct relevance to scholars in international relations, international political economy, international economics and business and security studies.
