Abstract

Maoz views the evolution of international relations over the last two centuries as a set of interacting, cooperative and conflicting networks of states. The networks that emerged are the result of national choice processes about forming or breaking ties with other states. States are constantly concerned with their security and survival in an anarchic world. Their security concerns stem from their external environment and their past conflicts. Because many of them cannot ensure their security by their own power, they need allies to balance against a hostile international environment. The alliance choices made by states define the structure of security cooperation networks and spill over into other cooperative networks, including trade and institutions. Maoz tests his theory by applying social networks analysis (SNA) methods to international relations. He offers a novel perspective as a system of interrelated networks that co-evolve and interact with one another.

Abstract

La crise économique que traverse l’Europe à la fin des années vingt apparaît comme un long cortège d’échecs pour la coopération entre États. Mais les projets évoqués au cours des années 1929-1933 comportent malgré tout des perspectives originales d’organisation du continent européen. Certains frappent même par leur modernité : par exemple l’idée qui consiste à imaginer des blocs économiques homogènes qui iraient, chacun à son rythme, vers l’union économique de l’Europe ; ou encore celle qui vise à instituer une société internationale de crédit finançant le développement de l’Europe du Centre et du Sud-Est. C’est aussi durant ces années que germent les fondements d’une Europe monétaire. Le débat européen porte également - à coté de ces perspectives - sur le processus à mettre en œuvre pour fédérer davantage les différents États du continent. Faut-il donner la priorité à l’économique ou alors au politique ? A bien des égards ces années apparaissent comme « un brouillon » pour la construction européenne de l’après seconde guerre mondiale. C’est pour cette raison que les propositions et les discussions des années de crise restent encore aujourd’hui d’une étonnante actualité en Europe The economic recession that swept through Europe in the late 1920s reads like a long line of failures for interstate cooperation. Yet the projects put forward from 1929 to 1933 contained original ideas for the organisation of the European continent. Some are even striking in their modernity. For example, there was the idea that uniform economic blocs could move, each at their own speed, towards European economic union. Then there was the design of setting up an international credit fund to finance the development of Central and South-Eastern Europe. The period also sowed the seeds for a monetary Europe. In addition to these ideas, Europeans discussed the best process for closer unification of the continent’s nations. Should the priority be placed on the economic or the political? In many…

Abstract

From the Afterword, by The Right Honourable Paul Martin "[e]ven if only a partial transition to multi-polarity occurs, we face a significant institutional challenge, because for the moment there is no effective framework within which this broader distribution of power can be contained, managed and mobilized for the common good of humankind. This is the fundamental reason why the L-20 is needed—we need a body that can form the consensus required to deal on a timely basis with issues of all kinds that have global repercussions." This account of the 'L-20 project' describes and analyses a 3-year mobilization designed as an alternative to the political deadlocks preventing progress on critical global issues. The L-20 would include leaders from the existing G-countries, augmented by key regional powers such as China, Brazil, India, South Africa and Egypt. The book traces the origins and findings of the project, which generated a broad array of cutting-edge research and over twenty substantive, action-oriented workshops involving hundreds of experts and practitioners around the world. The workshop series examined in detail the operational possibilities for a Leaders Group addressing a range of issues, including infectious disease control, climate change/global warming, energy security, nuclear proliferation, management of international financial crises, and the provision of safe drinking water and sanitation, to name just a few. In the context of a rapidly globalizing world, the book addresses the classical problems of international governance – How do we prevent war? How do we feed the hungry? How do we house the homeless? How do we cure the sick and safeguard the healthy? Featuring a Foreword by Dr. Gordon Smith, an Afterword by the Right Honourable Paul Martin, former Prime Minister of Canada, and a glossary of terms, Globalization and Summit Reform provides a unique, insiders’ perspective on the process of international governance and its future prospects.
