Summary

Since the turn of the millennium, resistance to the liberal project of global governance has come to occupy center stage in global and international politics.The Battle of Seattle, the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington and the Bush administration's ambivalent attitude towards multilateralism can all be thought of as conspicuous instances of the growing challenge to global governance.Global Governance, Conflict and Resistance provides a wide-ranging series of analyses of such challenges.
