Today, however, global cooperation is failing, largely incapacitated in the face of pressing challenges such as climate change, nuclear proliferation, financial insecurity, cross-border mass migrations, transnational terrorism, and more. This failure has deep structural reasons. This is the main claim made by Hale, Held and Young in their excellent book, Gridlock: Why Global Cooperation Is Failing When We Need It Most. This number of Philosophy and Public Issues convenes leading scholars to discuss that claim and some of its most significant implications for political theory. | ||
