shows that not all liberals have lost their nerve, while Meghnad Desai,
Marx’s
Revenge (2002), illustrates the connections between classical Marxism and
liberalism.
The neo-Gramscian approach to IPE is well represented in the
Review of
International Political Economy. Texts taking this broad approach include Gill
and Law (1988). The leading neo-Gramscian theorist is Robert W. Cox; see his
Production, Power and World Order: Social Forces in the Making of History
(1987) and his collected papers (with Timothy Sinclair),
Approaches to World
Order (1996). Stephen Gill (ed.)
Gramsci, Historical Materialism and
International Relations (1993) is still the best general collection on Gramsci
and IR. Other important studies include Kees Van der Pijl,
Transnational
Classes and International Relations (1998); Ronen Palan and Jason Abbott,
State Strategies in the Global Political Economy (1996).
On good governance and the Washington consensus, G. C. Gong,
The
Standard of ‘Civilisation’ in International Society (1984), is the classic study of
nineteenth-century theory and practice of the ‘standards of civilization’. Robert
Jackson,
Quasi-States: Sovereignty, International Relations and the Third
World (1990), is a modern classic bringing the story of good governance into
the late twentieth century.
Andrew Hurrell and Benedict Kingsbury (eds)
The International Politics of
the Environment (1992) is a very valuable collection with essays on institu-
tions, standard-setting and conflicts of interest. Wolfgang Sachs (ed.)
Global
Ecology: A New Arena of Political Conflict (1993)
and John Vogler and Mark
Imber (eds)
The Environment and International Relations (1995) are equally
useful. Also see Garth Porter and Janet Welsh Brown,
Global Environmental
Politics (1991); and Caroline Thomas,
The Environment in International
Relations (1992). Thomas (ed.), ‘Rio: Unravelling the Consequences’, a Special
Issue of
Environmental Politics (1994), is the best single source on UNCED.
Early warning of environmental problems ahead was given in Richard Falk,
This Endangered Planet (1971). Peter Haas (ed.) ‘Knowledge, Power and
International Policy Coordination’, a Special Issue of
International Organization
(1992) is the best source for epistemic communities.
Oran Young et al. (eds)
Global Environmental Change and International Governance (1996) is an
important study. John Vogler,
The Global Commons: Environmental and
Technological Governance (2000), is a useful overview. There is a new edition
of Lorraine Elliot’s excellent
The Global Politics of the Environment (2004).
On new notions of security and securitization, for the Copenhagen School
see Barry Buzan,
People, States and Fear (1990), Buzan
et al., The European
Security Order Recast: Scenarios for the Post-Cold War Era (1990), and, espe-
cially, Buzan,
Waever and de Wilde,
Security: A New Framework for Analysis
(1998); an informative debate on the Copenhagen School can be found in the
pages of the
Review of International Studies: Bill McSweeney, ‘Identity and
Security: Buzan and the Copenhagen School’ (1996), Barry Buzan and
Ole Waever, ‘Slippery? Contradictory? Sociologically Untenable? The
Copenhagen School Replies’ (1997) and McSweeney, ‘Durkheim and the
184
Understanding International Relations
Copenhagen School’ (1998). For Critical Security Studies see Ken Booth (ed.)
New Thinking about Strategy and International Security (1991a);
idem,
‘Security and Emancipation’ (1991c) and Keith Krause and Michael C.
Williams (eds)
Critical Security Studies: Concepts and Cases (1997). Steven
Walt in ‘The Renaissance of Security Studies’ (1991) is, apparently, uncon-
vinced by redefinitions. Sean M. Lynn-Jones and Steven Miller (eds)
Global
Dangers: Changing Dimensions of International Security (1995) give the view
from the pages of
International Security.
On global civil society, the annual
Global Civil Society Yearbook is an excellent
source of both data and opinion; approximately the same team have recently
produced Marlies Glasius
et al., International Civil Society (2004). The con-
tributors to Michael Walzer (ed.)
Toward a Global Civil Society (1997) are
rather less convinced that one
is on the way than Mary Kaldor,
Global Civil
Society: An Answer to War (2003). John Keane,
Global Civil Society? (2003)
has a sensible question mark in its title, and David Chandler,
Constructing
Global Civil Society (2004), probably should have. Chris Brown, ‘Cosmo-
politanism, World Citizenship and Global Civil Society’ (2001), is highly
critical of the notion. Mathias Albert
et al. (eds)
Civilising World Politics:
Society and Community Beyond the State (2000) is a good collection with
mostly German contributors. Albert
et al. (eds)
Identities, Borders, Orders:
Rethinking International Relations Theory (2001) is another useful collection.
On the anti-globalization movement, popular studies include Naomi Klein,
No Logo (2001),
and Thomas Frank,
One Market under God (2001).
Millennium has published a very valuable set of brief essays (2000) on the
‘Battle for Seattle’ at the WTO Conference in November 1999, with contribu-
tions from Steven Gill, Fred Halliday, Mary Kaldor and Jan Aart Scholte
(2000). Chris Brown,
Sovereignty, Rights and Justice (2002), Chapter 12,
discusses the movement.
