A Worldview of Care & a New Economics
This essay draws upon scientific insights around care and caregiving, alongside new economic proposals, to distill a worldview of care. This worldview proceeds from an abstraction of human nature and needs that is both individual and relational, departing from Maslows hierarchy of needs by putting the need for belonging and connection with others on the same plane as self-actualization. In doing so, we reflect on the ways care is only narrowly va…
Care Is a Relationship
Care, defined as caregiving, should be understood as a relationship rather than an activity: a relationship of nurture and development that imbues a set of actions, or “services,” with a positive impact on the person or being that is cared for. Valuing care as part of a new moral political economy will thus require figuring out how to value relationships apart from goods and services. Moreover, care is a relationship that is grounded more in iden…
Seeing in Stereo
Foreign policy experts often rely on familiar dichotomies: great power competition versus global issues, foreign policy versus domestic policy, and a unitary national identity versus multiculturalism. "Seeing in stereo" means superimposing the two halves of each dichotomy on top of one another. Learning to see how great power competition and global issues intertwine, how foreign and domestic policies increasingly merge, and how the United States …

The Crisis of American Foreign Policy: Wilsonianism in the Twenty-first Century
Networking Goes International: An Update
This literature review asks three questions of the scholarship on the regulatory networks that have so transformed global governance. First, what are these networks good for? We summarize the state of the literature on regulatory races, the fit between networks and the process of globalization, and the crucial role of the revolution in communications in the development of networks, introducing the topics with a brief intellectual history of regul…
The New Transnationalism and Comparative Politics
In the back jacket blurb to Michael Barnett and Martha Finnemore's Rules for the World, Thomas Weiss writes, realists beware, noting that states matter, but so do their creations, organizations. He might have extended this caution to comparativists as well, since both comparative politics and relations scholars are increasingly challenged to respond to the rising significance of transna tional activities by state, nonstate, and subnational actors…
A New World Order
Global governance is here--but not where most people think. This book presents the far-reaching argument that not only should we have a new world order but that we already do. Anne-Marie Slaughter asks us to completely rethink how we view the political world. It's not a collection of nation states that communicate through presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers, and the United Nations. Nor is it a clique of NGOs. It is governance through a…

International law and international relations theory: A prospectus
Scholars of international relations generate a wide range of theories to solve the problems and puzzles of state behavior. Each theory offers a causal account of a particular outcome or pattern of behavior in interstate relations in a form that isolates independent and dependent variables precisely enough to generate hypotheses (predictions) that can be empirically tested. At a higher level of generality, these theories can be grouped into differ…

Disaggregated Sovereignty: Towards the Public Accountability of Global Government Networks
Networks of government officials – police investigators, financial regulators, even judges and legislators – are a key feature of world order in the twenty-first century. Yet, these networks present significant accountability and legitimacy concerns. This article identifies and responds to the potential problems of government networks by suggesting means to increase their accountability and proposing norms to govern the relations of members of go…
A Duty to Prevent
The unprecedented threat posed by terrorists and rogue states armed with weapons of mass destruction cannot be handled by an outdated and poorly enforced nonproliferation regime. The international community has a duty to prevent security disasters as well as humanitarian ones -- even at the price of violating sovereignty

International Law, International Relations and Compliance
Commitments are a persistent feature of international affairs. Disagreement over the effect of international commitments and the causes of compliance with them is equally persistent. Yet in the last decades the long-standing divide between those who believed that international rules per se shaped state behavior and those who saw such rules as epiphenomenal or insignificant has given way to a more nuanced and complex debate. The proliferation and …
Response to Finnemore and Toope
Mark Twain has been quoted as saying, “It is admirable to do good. It is also admirable to tell others to do good—and a lot less trouble.” Twain's perhaps apocryphal aphorism could be adapted to contemporary social science scholarship: It is admirable to articulate and seek to apply new concepts. It is also admirable to tell others what is wrong with their concepts—and a lot less trouble. Martha Finnemore and Stephen Toope, in their comment on ou…

The Concept of Legalization
We develop an empirically based conception of international legalization to show how law and politics are intertwined across a wide range of institutional forms and to frame the analytic and empirical articles that follow in this volume. International legalization is a form of institutionalization characterized by three dimensions: obligation, precision, and delegation. Obligation means that states are legally bound by rules or commitments and th…
Introduction: Legalization and World Politics
In many issue-areas, the world is witnessing a move to law. As the century turned, governments and individuals faced the following international legal actions. The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Britain's ban on homosexuals in the armed forces violates the right to privacy, contravening Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia indicted Yugoslav president Sloboda…
Legalized Dispute Resolution: Interstate and Transnational
We identify two ideal types of international third-party dispute resolution: interstate and transnational. Under interstate dispute resolution, states closely control selection of, access to, and compliance with international courts and tribunals. Under transnational dispute resolution, by contrast, individuals and nongovernmental entities have significant influence over selection, access, and implementation. This distinction helps to explain the…
Revisiting the European Court of Justice
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) is widely recognized not only as an important actor in the process of European integration but also as a strategic actor in its own right. In the last four years the literature on the Court has dramatically expanded, nourishing a lively debate between neofunctionalists and intergovernmentalists. But this debate has now reached the limits of its usefulness. Both neofunctionalism and intergovernmentalism neglect …

International Law and International Relations Theory: A New Generation of Interdisciplinary Scholarship
Nine years ago, Kenneth Abbott published an article exhorting international lawyers to read and master regime theory, arguing that it had multiple uses for the study of international law. He went as far as to call for a “joint discipline” that would bridge the gap between international relations theory (IR) and international law (IL). Several years later, one of us followed suit with an article mapping the history of the two fields and setting fo…
The Real New World Order
Many thought that new world order proclaimed by George Bush was promise of 1945 fulfilled, a world in which international institutions, led by United Nations, guaranteed international peace and security with active support of world's major powers. That world order is a chimera. Even as a liberal internationalist ideal, it is infeasible at best and dangerous at worst. It requires a centralized rule making authority, a hierarchy of institutions, an…

Appraising the Methods of International Law: A Prospectus for Readers
In 1908 the second volume of the American Journal of International Law featured a piece by Lassa Oppenheim entitled The Science of International Law: Its Tasks and Method . Oppenheim began his article by noting, apparently with some approval, that the first volume of AJIL , stacked with articles only by Americans, had “shown to the world that America is able to foster the science of international law without being dependent upon the assistance of…

We structured this symposium on the premise that comparison reveals critical differences.

We threw out these questions as a means of structuring a debate in a way that would be most help…

Toward a Theory of Effective Supranational Adjudication
Supranational adjudication in Europe is a remarkable and surprising success. Europe's two supranational courts -- the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) -- issue dozens of judgments each year with which defending national governments habitually comply in essentially the same manner as they would with domestic court rulings. These experiences stand in striking contrast to those of many international tribu…
