Global Policymaking
This book analyzes the politics of global governance by looking at how
globalpolicymakingactuallyworks.Itprovidesacomprehensivetheoret-
icalandmethodologicalframeworkwhichissystematicallyappliedtothe
study of three global policies drawn from recent UN activities: the adop-
tionoftheSustainableDevelopmentGoalsin2015,theinstitutionalization
of the Human Rights Council from 2005 onward, and the ongoing pro-
motionoftheprotectionofciviliansinpeaceoperations.Byunpackingthe
practices and the values that have prevailed in these three cases, the
authors demonstrate how global policymaking forms a patchwork per-
vaded by improvisation and social conflict. They also show how global
governance embodies a particular vision of the common good at the
expense of alternative perspectives. The book will appeal to students and
scholars of global governance, international organizations, and global
policystudies.
