Global Cooperation in Times of Crisis, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book concerns possibilities and obstacles to global cooperation in turbulent times, providing critical insight on how notions of sustainable development, crisis, and diplomacy are shaped by changing moods.

Global Cooperation in Times of Crisis investigates how mood shapes global cooperation. The book focuses on theorising the role of moods in multilateralism, their specific implications for issues as diverse as migration, media, livelihoods, conflict, and development aid, containing also regional case studies including on China, Russia, the United States, Europe, Turkey, and Brazil. It asks: What became of the global cooperation spirit we saw in 2015, with the adoption of several major international frameworks, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and the Paris Agreement on climate change? Bringing together regional perspectives and original conceptual essays, the book offers a new lens on the changing conditions for global cooperation by focusing on moods and their effects, with important implications for the United Nations 2030+ agenda and beyond.

This volume brings together 19 chapters offering timely and original lenses for understanding the times in which we live, aimed at scholars, students, and practitioners working across the social sciences, diplomacy, humanitarianism, politics, and the humanities
