Unintended Consequences of Peacekeeping Operations
Edited by Chiyuki Aoi, Cedric de Coning and Ramesh Thakur
Unintended Consequences of Peacekeeping Operations is one of the first attempts to improve our
understanding of unintended consequences of peacekeeping operations, by bringing together field experiences and academic analyses. The book investigates unintended consequences
of peacekeeping operations on individuals and groups of individuals, on the host society and
economy, and on the troop-contributing countries. It also analyses the degree to which the
United Nations has tried to manage some of these side-effects, as well as the United Nations’
accountability in the context of the international legal framework. The aim of the book is
not to discredit peace operations but rather to improve the way in which such operations are
planned and managed.

War in Our Time
Reflections on Iraq, Terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction
Ramesh Thakur
Uniquely in the 62-year history of the United Nations, Ramesh Thakur was given and exercised the latitude to write for public consumption on the contested topics of the day, making
it clear that he was expressing his personal opinion. This book brings together a collection of
Dr Thakur’s opinion articles from a number of newspapers around the world: The Australian,
The Canberra Times, The Daily Yomiuri, The Globe and Mail, The Hindu, The International
Herald Tribune and The Japan Times, plus one article from the UN Chronicle. The book’s
three topics—the Iraq war, the war on terror and weapons of mass destruction—are among
the most critical issues of our times.
“Ramesh Thakur has established a solid reputation for himself as an international public
intellectual. The articles assembled in this book have contributed in no small measure to that
achievement. Between them these articles show a keen understanding of the main currents
of international affairs. Ramesh’s subtle analysis is well served by an elegant and limpid writing style. Academics, diplomats, journalists as well as the wider public will all welcome the
fact that these enduring essays have been brought together in one book.”
—Lakhdar Brahimi, former Special Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General
“I am a regular reader of Dr
Ramesh Thakur’s writings. I
have been impressed by his
clear thinking and analysis of
world politics. Dr Thakur has
challenged me many times to
review my own thinking on
important issues.”

Reconstituting Korean Security
A Policy Primer
Edited by Hazel Smith
The classic national security concerns of nuclear proliferation and the production, sale and
use of weapons of mass destruction cannot be addressed in the Korean peninsula without
at the same time considering the implications and interrelationship of what are these days
known as the human security issues of food, poverty and, perhaps more controversially, freedom. East Asia and the world are more dangerous with the Democratic People’s Republic of
Korea (DPRK) in possession of nuclear weapons. However, a comprehensive security analysis must identify many equally significant threats to regional security, such as the risk from
industrial and nuclear accidents and the potential for transborder crime arising from the lack
of legal and productive avenues for economic activity for North Korea’s poverty-stricken citizens. This book shows that, in Korea, soft security issues are as important as hard security
matters and that the latter cannot be understood, or its dilemmas unravelled, without a clear
engagement with the former.
Reconstituting Korean Security tackles Korean security dilemmas from the perspective of the
various international actors, not just from the viewpoint of the major protagonists—the
DPRK and the United States. It demonstrates that different states and international organizations have different and multiple interests in their relationships with the DPRK and with
each other.
The book’s contributors are internationally renowned experts on Korea from all over the globe.
They combine well-informed, acute and professional analysis with recommendations for a
comprehensive strategy for successful policy interventions in the multifaceted Korean security
crisis.

Atrocities and International Accountability
Beyond Transitional Justice
Edited by Edel Hughes, William A. Schabas and Ramesh Thakur
Rebuilding societies where conflict has occurred is rarely a simple process; but where conflict has been accompanied by gross and systematic violations of human rights the procedure
becomes fraught with controversy.
The traditional debate on ‘transitional justice’ sought to balance justice, truth, accountability,
and peace and stability. The appearance of impunity for past crimes undermines confidence
in new democratic structures and casts doubt upon commitments to human rights. Yet the
need to consolidate peace sometimes resulted in reluctance on the part of authorities—both
local and international—to confront suspected perpetrators of human rights violations, especially when they were a part of the peace process. Experience in many regions of the world
therefore suggested a trade-off between peace and justice.
However, there is a growing consensus that some forms of justice and accountability are
integral to—rather than in tension with—peace and stability. This volume considers whether
we are truly going beyond the ‘transitional justice’ debate.

Trafficking in Humans
Social, Cultural and Political Dimensions
Edited by Sally Cameron and Edward Newman
This volume aims to deepen understanding of the social, economic and political contexts of
human trafficking: the recruitment and transportation of human beings through deception
and coercion for the purposes of exploitation. Upon this basis, the volume considers whether
an understanding of these underlying factors—what may be called ‘structural’— can inform
policy discussion as well as strategic interventions regarding the fight against trafficking. Trafficking, generally, occurs from poorer to more prosperous countries and regions.
However, it is not necessarily the poorest regions or communities which are most vulnerable
to trafficking, and so the volume seeks to identify the factors which explain where and why
vulnerability increases. At the same time, modern forms of transportation and communication have aided the movement of people and also enabled transnational organized crime
groups and trafficking rings to exploit vulnerable people for profit. The volume includes
experts with great experience of trafficking issues and it also gives a voice to ‘critical’ views
which argue that trafficking challenges are inseparable from broader debates about human
rights and migration. Indeed, whilst the idea of protecting the human rights of victims is
uppermost, protecting the human rights of people to seek a living and make decisions for
themselves regarding migration is also important. The volume thus avoids simplifying those
who have been trafficked as disempowered victims.

Newman is Programme Officer in the Peace and Governance Programme at the United

National Interest and International Solidarity
Particular and Universal Ethics in International Life
Edited by Jean-Marc Coicaud and Nicholas J. Wheeler
Taking as its point of departure the perennial tension between particular and universal ethics
in international society, this book seeks to explore and understand the motivations of actors
in different international contexts where national interests and solidarity concerns intersect.
Focusing on a range of regional cases, where it is not evident from a traditional national
interest point of view why outside actors would choose to intervene, the book evaluates the
respective weight of national interest and internationalist (solidarity) considerations.
Ultimately, while classical national interest considerations remain to this day a powerful
motivation for power projection, the book shows how an enlightened conception of national
interest can encompass solidarity concerns, and how such a balancing of the imperatives of
both national interest and solidarity is the major challenge facing decision-makers.
“This book highlights the need for enlightened leadership at the United Nations and within
the international community, providing a vision and voice for those unheard. It helps
through detailed analysis to identify more functional and efficient management for guidance
and competent monitoring.”
—Mohamed Sahnoun, Special Adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations
“Coicaud and Wheeler have assembled a remarkable collection
of essays that probe when and
where national interests and
more cosmopolitan solidarity
actually matter. The ethical, and
sometimes political, imperative
to help people who live outside
of one’s own borders is the issue of our times.”

No Entry Without Strategy
Building the Rule of Law under UN Transitional Administration
Carolyn Bull
For international actors seeking to consolidate peace and democracy in disrupted states, the
importance of establishing the rule of law is now well-recognised. Yet this goal has proven
frustratingly elusive. UN peace operations have struggled to ensure lasting security against
violence and to build legitimate structures to redress disputes peacefully. It has proven even
harder to instill principles of governance that promote accountability to the law, protect
against abuse and generate trust in the state.
In championing such goals, UN state-building missions have pitched against the odds.
Beyond the complicated tasks of reforming laws, judiciaries and police forces, UN actors
have confronted a fundamental dilemma: if embedding the rule of law rests on complex political and social transformations regarding conflict, power and the state, can external actors
make a difference?
This book investigates the challenges faced by UN transitional administrations in establishing the rule of law in Cambodia, Kosovo and East Timor. In so doing, it explores conceptual
understandings of the UN’s state-building agenda and speaks to broader questions about the
role of external actors in disrupted states.
Carolyn Bull has a PhD in Politics from the University of New South Wales. She currently manages the East Asia regional portfolio for the Australian Agency for International
Development. She was a career diplomat with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs
and Trade from 1993-2006.

Interlinkages and the Effectiveness of Multilateral Environmental
Agreements
W. Bradnee Chambers
In recent years there has been growing awareness that a major reason for the worsening
global environment is the failure to create adequate institutional responses to fully address
the scope, magnitude and complexity of environmental problems. Much of the criticism
directed at the global institutions has focused on the necessity for greater coordination and
synergism among environmental institutions, policies and legal instruments, and the need
for approaches that take better account of the inter-relationships between ecological and
societal systems. This book seeks to fill the gap in knowledge and policy-making that exists,
particularly in international law. In the course of doing so, it examines the essence of the
assumptions made about interlinkages and multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs),
provides a framework for measuring the effectiveness of MEAs and shows how the effectiveness of MEAs can be improved by interlinkages. Moreover, it demonstrates how MEAs that
cooperate with treaties outside the environment in other sectors of sustainable development
can improve their effectiveness.

Institutional Interplay
Biosafety and Trade
Edited by Oran R. Young, W. Bradnee Chambers,
Joy A. Kim and Claudia ten Have
International institutions and the consequences of their interplay are emerging as a major
agenda item for research and policy. As governments enter into an ever-increasing number
of international agreements, questions arise about the overlap of issues, jurisdiction and
membership. Of particular interest to practitioners and analysts is how this mélange of institutions at the international level intersects and interrelates to influence and affect the content,
operation, performance and effectiveness of a specific institution, as well as the functioning of the overall global governance context. Biosafety, which is an issue that is relevant to
numerous institutions, offers an excellent case study for exploring and applying interplay in
practical terms.

Climate Change in Asia
Perspectives on the Future Climate Regime
EDITED BY YASUKO KAMEYAMA, AGUS P. SARI, MOEKTI H. SOEJACHMOEN
AND NORICHIKA KANIE
Looking beyond the Kyoto Protocol’s first containment period, an intense and growing international debate over the future climate change regime has emerged. Countries in Asia have
particularly high stakes in this regime given the region’s high population, growing greenhouse gas emissions, burgeoning economies and vulnerabilities to the impact of climate
change. Limited capacity, however, has hampered the participation of many Asian countries
in the international debate.
This book is the result of a two-year study of domestic institutional processes in Asia to
address climate change issues, national circumstances that impede countries from fully
participating in the international debate and elements of a plausible climate regime from an
Asian perspective. It serves to identify the institutional dimensions of climate change and,
importantly, identifies linkages between climate change and sustainable development.

International Water Security
Domestic Threats and Opportunities
Edited by Nevelina I. Pachova, Mikiyasu Nakayama and Libor Jansky
Water is essential for all aspects of life. Managing water is a challenging task, particularly in
shared water basins that host more than half of the world’s population. National sovereignty
and security considerations have long constrained the reasonable, equitable and sustainable
utilization of international water courses. With post-Cold War democratization and globalization on the rise, domestic actors have an increasingly important role to play in national
decision-making and traditional foreign policy debates.
This volume explores both these threats and opportunities through the presentation of case
studies that analyze the multi-faceted and dynamic nature of the interplay between domestic

Institutional Change and Economic Development
Edited by Ha-Joon Chang
The issue of institutional development has come to prominence during the last decade or
so. During this period, even the IMF and the World Bank, which used to treat institutions
as mere ‘details’, have come to emphasize the role of institutions in economic development.
However, there are still some important knowledge gaps that need to be filled before we can
say that we have a good grip on the issue of institutions and economic development, both
theoretically and at the policy level. This book is an attempt to fill these gaps.
While arguing there is no set formula for institutional development, this book will assist
developing countries to improve their institutions by providing sophisticated theoretical
discussions and helpful policy ideas based on real-life cases.
“Just when the institutionalist approach to economic development is at risk of seeming like a
‘black box’ for tautological non-explanations, this volume of richly historically informed and
nuanced studies will restore confidence in the value, if not superiority, of this approach to the
political economy of development.”
—Jomo K.S., Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, United Nations
Ha-Joon Chang is the Reader in the Political Economy of Development at the Faculty of
Economics, University of Cambridge, UK.
“Much has been said about
institutions in development,
but this book takes us to a new
level of analysis, with a very
thorough understanding of the
history and political economy of
institution-building. Along the
way it demolishes much of the
conventional wisdom, and sets
a new standard that all future
research on institutions must
match.”

Urban Crisis
Culture and the Sustainability of Cities
Edited by M. Nadarajah and
Ann Tomoko Yamamoto
Unprecedented urban growth makes
sustainability in cities a crucial issue for
policymakers, scholars, and business leaders. This emerging urban crisis challenges
environment-based and economic-based
approaches to sustainability, and brings to
the forefront the multi-faceted and critical
role that culture plays in ensuring that
cities are viable for future generations.
Culture provides fertile ground for new
approaches to sustainable development at
the local level. Urban Crisis: Culture and
the Sustainability of Cities makes important
contributions towards a theory on culture
in sustainable cities, assesses the use of cultural indicators as a tool for policymakers,
and includes useful case studies of Patan
(Nepal), Penang (Malaysia), Cheongju
(South Korea), and Kanazawa (Japan).

Measuring Vulnerability to
Natural Hazards
Industrial Innovation and
Environmental Regulation
Towards Disaster Resilient Societies
Developing Workable Solutions
Edited by Jörn Birkmann
Edited by Saeed Parto and
Brent Herbert-Copley
Recognizing and measuring vulnerabilities
is the first and perhaps most important
step towards disaster resilient societies. Measuring Vulnerability to Natural
Hazards presents a broad range of current
approaches to measuring vulnerability. It
provides a comprehensive overview of
different concepts at the global, regional,
national, and local levels, and explores various schools of thought.
This book contains concrete experiences and examples from Africa, Asia, the
Americas and Europe to illustrate the theoretical analyses. The authors provide answers to some of the key questions on how
to measure vulnerability and they draw attention to issues with insufficient coverage,
such as the environmental and institutional
dimensions of vulnerability and methods
to combine different methodologies.

Do regulations benefit the environment,
and how do they affect industrial innovation? Since the modern era of environmental management began in the early 1970s,
regulations have been used with increasing
intensity and sophistication as the main
instrument in steering the behaviour of
economic agents in industrial production.
The purpose of environmental regulation
has been to coerce producers of goods and
services into internalizing the environmental costs of production. These efforts have
often faced opposition on practical and
ideological grounds. Since the 1980s there
has been a movement towards liberalization, coupled with the continued failure
of the market to protect the environment
as a public good. As a result, private and
public sector interests have been engaged
in debate about the appropriate role of
governments in protecting and improving the environment and controlling the
environmental impact of industry. The
contributors to this book examine a number of political and industrial trends and
responses to these challenges.

Peace and Governance
Challenges to Peacebuilding
Arms Control After Iraq
Multilateralism Under Challenge?
Managing Spoilers During Conflict
Resolution
Normative and Operational Challenges
Power, International Order, and
Structural Change
Edited by Edward Newman
and Oliver Richmond
Many ceasefires and peace agreements
in civil conflict are initially unsuccessful. Some give way to renewed, and often
escalating, violence. In other cases, peace
processes have become interminably protracted: lengthy and circular negotiations
in which concessions are rare. Given the
huge material and human costs of a failed
peace process, the international community has a strong interest in helping these
processes succeed and addressing threats
to their implementation. Challenges to
Peacebuilding approaches this problem by
focusing on ‘spoilers’: groups and tactics
that actively seek to obstruct or undermine
conflict settlement through a variety of
means, including terrorism and violence.

The Iraq Crisis and World Order
Structural, Institutional and Normative
Challenges
Edited by Ramesh Thakur and
Waheguru Pal Singh Sidhu
The emergence of the United States as
the sole superpower after the end of the
Cold War distorted the structural balance
in the UN schema. The United Nations is
the main embodiment of the principle of
multilateralism and the principal vehicle
for the pursuit of multilateral goals. The
United Nations is the fount of international authority, but the United States has
global power, soft as well as hard. Progress
towards a world of a rules-based, civilized
international order requires that US force
be put to the service of lawful international
authority. This book examines these major
normative and structural challenges from
a number of different perspectives.

The stated reason for invading Iraq was its
alleged clandestine pursuit of weapons of
mass destruction in defiance of UN resolutions. Even though the allegation was proven
false, the international community remains
preoccupied with the threat of the proliferation and use of such terrible weapons.
The questions discussed in this book include doctrinal issues regarding the use of
force in general; the implications of a shift
in the utility of nuclear weapons from deterrence to compellence and of a focus on nonproliferation to the neglect of disarmament;
the place and role of the United Nations in
controlling the spread and use of WMD; the
regional dynamics of proliferation concerns
in North-east Asia and the Middle East; the
policy drivers of the NPT and extra-NPT
nuclear powers; and the threats posed by
the possible acquisition of nuclear weapons
and missiles by non-state actors.

“For a concept and an institution that is
under ‘challenge’—if not duress—multilateralism is an essential component of
international life, as the contributions to
this volume clearly demonstrate. We need
to make multilateralism more effective
and more accountable, to be sure. This
book advances constructive ideas on how
to do just that.”
—John G. Ruggie,
Harvard University, USA
“An essential reference on the current state
of the debate on multilateralism and institutional reform. As a desktop reference it
could prove invaluable. I know of no other
book that attempts to assess what has happened to multilateralism in all aspects of
contemporary international relations. It is
this comprehensive approach—in which
the security, environmental, humanitarian and economic aspects of international
order are seen as bound together by a
common approach, albeit one that is now
under challenge—that will establish the
comparative advantage of this book.”

Peacemakers or Peace Wreckers?
European and East Asian Leadership
Edited by Larry Minear
and Hazel Smith
Edited by Hazel Smith
and Paul Stares
César De Prado
This volume provides a compendium of
experiences presented and analyzed by 14
senior humanitarian practitioners who
led humanitarian operations in settings as
diverse as the Balkans and Nepal; Somalia
and East Timor, and across a time frame
from the 1970s in Cambodia and 1980s
in Lebanon to more recent engagement in
Colombia and Iraq. Their unique experiences and insights from the field are
framed by context-setting essays on the
theory and practice of humanitarian diplomacy and on the ingredients of the craft as
practiced by humanitarian professionals.
Diasporas can be a powerful force in
international politics. Groups of exiles,
refugees, migrants and other forms of
diaspora populations play a part in the
processes and outcomes of international
politics in both their native and their adopted countries.
“This book successfully establishes the concept of ‘Humanitarian Diplomacy’ which
will be a permanent fixture in humanitarian
efforts for years to come. Each chapter is a
tribute to the skills of thousands of humanitarians whose ‘small d’ diplomatic skills
keep millions of people alive every day.”

Regulating Globalization
Critical Approaches to Global Governance
Edited by Pierre De Senarclens
and Ali Kazancigil
While globalization is thriving, its consequences remain contradictory and controversial. Despite being an effective process in
generating economic growth, globalization
also leads to excessive concentrations of
wealth and increased inequalities within and
between countries. The resulting imbalances
can be explained to a large extent by regulatory deficiencies in the economic, financial,
commercial and environmental sectors
stemming from unaccountable, undemocratic, inequitable and ineffective global
governance. The authors of the book offer
critical historic and forward-looking analyses
on current global governance and formulate
proposals towards more accountable, transparent and participatory global governance
as well as its institutional architecture for a
regulation of globalization that combines
economic efficiency and social equity.

This timely and insightful book underscores the growing prospect of sustaining
peace and prosperity through dynamic,
multi-level governance in which individual states better engage in both global
processes and institutions via broad and
hyperlinked regional and interregional
regimes. Since the end of the Cold War,
European and East Asian states have been
actively enhancing a series of unique transboundary structures and agreements.
“This is an excellent contribution to our understanding of the complex development
towards global multi-level governance.”

After Mass Crime
Rebuilding States and Communities
Edited by Béatrice Pouligny,
Simon Chesterman and
Albrecht Schnabel
International interventions in the aftermath of mass violence tend to focus on justice and reconciliation processes, elections
and institution-building. The frame of reference is at the level of the state, although
the experience of mass crime by a population is also at the level of the community
and individuals. Insufficient attention has
been paid to the radical transformations in
their belief systems and codes of conduct
after the experience of mass crime. This
book seeks to bridge this divide by offering
a trans-disciplinary analysis of the impact
of mass crime on the rebuilding of social
and political relations.

Development
The Politics of Participation
in Sustainable Development
Governance
Trade and Investment Rule-making
Edited by Jessica F. Green and
W. Bradnee Chambers
Edited by Stephen Woolcock
To be effective and legitimate, the governance of sustainable development requires
the participation of a diverse set of actors
ranging from transnational civil society
groups to indigenous peoples. This book
explores the extent to which the current
system of governance allows for the participation of diverse actors, and finds that
there are still many obstacles impeding the
inclusion and influence of a number of different groups.

Understanding Human Well-Being
Edited by Mark McGillivray
and Matthew Clarke
With more than a billion people living on
less than one dollar per day, human wellbeing is a core issue for both researchers
and policy-makers.
This book examines advances in understanding well-being, poverty, and inequality concepts and corresponding empirical
applications and case studies. The authors
examine traditional monetary concepts
and measurements, and non-monetary
factors including educational achievement, longevity, health and subjective
well-being. Among the empirical applications examined are the indices produced
by the UNDP, including the well-known
Human Development Index (HDI), one of
many approaches that have done much to
refocus attention on the importance of nonmonetary measures of human wellbeing.

The Role of Regional and Bilateral
Agreements
Regional trade agreements are playing a
greater role in shaping trade and investment rules around the world. To date
the study of preferential agreements has
focused on their impact on tariff preferences, but as tariffs are reduced rule-making becomes more important in trade and
investment. This book addresses the role
of regional and bilateral agreements in
rule-making; provides an analytical framework for assessing the impact of regional
and other preferential agreements on rulemaking; and illustrates the role of regional
agreements in a multi-level process of
rule-making.

Industrial Clusters and
Innovation Systems in Africa
Institutions, Markets, and Policy
Edited by Banji Oyelaran-Oyeyinka
and Dorothy McCormick
Industrial clusters are an increasingly important form of industrial organization in
Africa and this book is the first to analyse
their role and impact in various sectors and
levels of economic development in Africa.
“…contains the first, and long needed, study
of enterprise clusters in Sub-Saharan
Africa. … is unique for its scope and
systematic rigour on issues that have been
extensively studied in the rest of the world,
but not in SSA. … convincingly shows that
local innovation systems and clusters are
essential ingredients for industrial development also in countries at their initial stages
of development.”

Professor of International Economics
and Director of the Centre for Research
on the Economics of Institutions,

cluster approach is for understanding
