Summary

Beyond Sovereignty: Issues for a Global Agenda provides a focused, cohesive introduction to a variety of transsovereign problems--problems that transcend borders and that no state can solve alone--spawned by globalization such as drug trafficking, nuclear smuggling, refugees, and environmental degradation. Each of the ten topical chapters, written by experts specifically for this volume, provides a context in which readers can evaluate the role and relevance of the state in the new millennium. Together, the writings make a crucial central argument: that the three dynamics which are flourishing in the post-Cold War era (open societies, open economies, open technologies) are also providing an infrastructure which facilitates transsovereign problems.
