Director, Global Summitry Project, teaches at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, University of Toronto: A Conclusion: Informal actors and their current impact on the global order
Assessing the variation of ‘leader-focused status’ in contemporary global governance
This article argues that with the ‘Rise of the Informals’ the traditional conception of status in international relations is outdated. Whereas through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries status was primarily created by the consequences of war, in the twenty-first century attributions of status are more explicitly institutional based. With the shift from small concerts to larger apex forums, therefore, opportunities to shape status standing are…
Global Summitry: Its Meaning and Scope Part One: Figure 1
This article by the Senior Editors describes the scope and areas of interest of the new Global Summitry journal. Given the breadth of the topic, the article is divided into two parts, with the second to appear in the next issue. The narrative begins with an account of the current state of the global order and goes on to develop a working definition of global summitry. It looks at various facets of the concept with particular emphasis on the fact …
South Africa in a complex global order: How and where to fit in
Is there a preferred way forward for South African foreign policy in the context of the contemporary state of global order? Can such a path be taken in what is evidently a fluid global order context? If power alone does not determine leadership in this revised global order, especially in the context of middle, secondary or emerging powers, is a diplomatic path to South African leadership at some level possible? Does South African politics today a…
Compliance and Enforcement
This chapter examines the awards arising from international investment instruments and related jurisprudence concerning the challenge of domestic enforcement and execution. It focuses on five domestic court decisions: four court decisions involving challenges by states to the enforcement and/or execution of investment awards in national courts under the ICSID Convention; and one recent case of addressing the enforcement or execution of a BIT arbi…
The Use of Public Power
The Court and the Constitution: Comments on the Supreme Court Reference on Constitutional Amendment
Framing Decision-Making
In a sense unintended by the authors, these two closely related books present a story within a story. Both Rational DecisionMaking and Decisions in Crisis are striking efforts to understand the decision-making substance and process of a key actor in the Middle East imbroglio Israel. In addition, the authors strive to evaluate the quality of the decision-making choices against current insights offered by rational and other decision-making framewor…

Deterrence in 1939
Rather than a case where deterrence was not tried, 1939 is a case where deterrence failed. As such, it has important implications for deterrence theory. Mutual deterrence must operate on roughly the same time perceptions. Britain felt impelled to deter Germany after Prague, but could offer only a long-term deterrent. Germany's short term appeared so favorable that the long-term uncertainties posed by Britain and France failed to restrain her. The…
History, Quantitative Analysis, and the Balance of Power
It is perhaps a paradox that history, the discipline which is closest to the raw stuff of politics, economics, and international affairs, has produced so little in agreed conclusions about such matters. Historians have managed to disagree about issues of great importance even though the data at their fingertips would seem to provide a substantial foundation for accord. Certain scholars have declared that World War I occurred because of an imbalan…
