Produktbeschreibung

The Future of Global Affairs is an exciting and balanced contribution to the debate about the potential trajectory of a world in flux. Tinged more with concern than utopian optimism, this volume captures a panoramic view of our cacophonous and disorderly world that is on the verge of disequilibrium and potential destruction unless key political actors, institutions, and processes can find a way to adapt global affairs to an increasingly plurilateral and intermestic era. A must-read for serious IR scholars; written in a way that is understandable to the lay person.

- W. Andy Knight, PhD, FRSC, University of Alberta

Inspired by urgent questions, this simultaneously illuminating and profoundly unsettling book traces the contours of the ascendant geopolitics, illustrating how one class of events can have contrasting resonances and implications in Washington, Lima, Lagos, or Luang Prabang. Each chapter explores a different facet ofglobal affairs, offering perspectives that, though not rosy, serious students of world politics will do well to take to heart.

- Ebenezer Obadare, PhD, University of Kansas

This book has two aims: first, to examines the evolving role of the state, and non-state actors, coupled with trends - including globalization, populism, post-truth, enlightened capitalism, feminist foreign policy, energy disruption, climate change, emerging cyber and other technologies, and the crisis in UN-centered multilateralism, to offer a prescient assessment of global affairs in the near future; and, second, to solidify the transdisciplinary nature of Global Affairs as a field of study that transcends the traditional conceptual silos.
