Assessing Maritime Disputes in East Asia

Combining practical and theoretical approaches, this book addresses the political, legal and economic implications of maritime disputes in East Asia. The maritime disputes in East Asia have multiplied over the past few years, in parallel with the economic growth of the countries in the region, the rise of nationalist movements, fears and sometimes fantasies regarding the emergence of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a global power, increasing military expenses, as well as speculations regarding the potential resources in various disputed islands. These disputes, however, are not new and some have been the subject of contention and the cause of friction for decades, if not centuries ...

Power in the 21st Century

This book results from a symposium organized by Genesys Network, which took place on April 29th, 2015, in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. The organizers invited contributors to think about the concept of power in the context of the evolving international system, and what it implied for the study of the concept in IR academic field. Indeed, if the end of the Cold War was characterized by a "unipolar moment" as defined by Krauthammer in 1991, this period is starting to come to an end. While the United States remains arguably a global superpower, its position is more and more disputed by other actors. Likewise, new centers of power have emerged. Today's world is complex and transitional, characteriz...

Regionalization of the World

Regionalization of the World

On the world map, macro-regions or global regions have gradually emerged, with varying degrees of success and following different trajectories. The authors of this book attempt to determine whether, within the context of globalization, these macro-regions have become an additional level in the spatial deployment of numerous actors, and whether they have come to stand between the national and global levels. This question has arisen because the increasing scales of trade, environmental problems, migration routes, energy distribution, the construction of major infrastructures etc. transcend national boundaries and are leading states to implement macro-regional cooperation. The authors ask whether these large regional groupings are becoming genuine territories and are the fruit of in-depth regional integration – economic, institutional, legal, normative, political, cultural and in terms of identity. If so, these global regions would therefore become referents that make sense and take root in social representations.

Qui, de George W. Bush ou d’Oussama ben Laden, peut être sacré vainqueur de l’affrontement amorcé par les événements du 11 septembre 2001 ? Sur le ring mondial, le premier round est sans nul doute déclaré nul. Sans nul doute, car les stratégies des deux combattants n’ont qu’exacerbé les tensions. _x000D_ _x000D_ Au terme des deux mandats de George W. Bush, et au retour à une politique américaine plus classique, Pierre-Alain Clément expose les causes de cet échec mutuel. Nous plongeant dans les rouages du terrorisme, il explique les raisons de sa persistance et identifie les travers des politiques contre-terroristes actuelles. _x000D_ _x000D_ Le choc des civilisations anticipé en cette première décennie du millénaire n’a peut-être pas eu lieu, mais les contentieux à l’origine du jihadisme restent entiers. De nouvelles pistes doivent être explorées pour comprendre ce phénomène. La partie est loin d’être terminée._x000D_

Au sein de la Maison-Blanche. De Truman à Obama : la formulation (imprévisible) de la politique étrangère des États-Unis. 3e édition entièrement revue et augmentée

Ce livre propose une analyse approfondie du système décisionnel du gouvernement des États-Unis pour expliquer les choix propres à chacune des présidences en matière de politique étrangère depuis 1945. Le lecteur y trouvera une étude du rôle qu’ont joué les présidents, les membres du Cabinet, leurs collaborateurs et les conseillers pour la sécurité nationale, mais aussi les bureaucraties, dans le processus décisionnel. Au cœur de ce dispositif, les aspects institutionnels et politiques de l’évolution de l’organisme décisionnel de la plus haute instance en politique étrangère, le Conseil de sécurité nationale (NSC), sont analysés systématiquement, pour chacune des présidences, étayés par de nombreux exemples tirés de 70 ans d’histoire de la politique extérieure américaine. À travers ce cadre d’analyse, c’est une nouvelle conception théorique et historique que nous proposons au lecteur, qui sera ainsi en mesure de mieux discerner le sens réel des décisions prises par les présidents américains sur la scène internationale.

As the world evolves in increasingly unpredictable directions, one of the key determinants of the future global order will surely be the impact of China. No country and no society can escape China's reach-indeed many seek its embrace. China brings benefits to many-but it's also a problematic interlocutor for others. In China and the World, one of the world's leading China specialists David Shambaugh has assembled fifteen leading international authorities on China to create the most comprehensive and up-to-date scholarly assessment of China's foreign relations and roles in international affairs. The volume covers China's contemporary position in all regions of the world, with all major powers, and across multiple arenas of China's international interactions. It also explores the sources of China's grand strategy, how the past shapes the present, and the impact of domestic factors that shape China's external behavior. China and the World is a uniquely focused and well-organized volume that provides many insights into China's calculations and behavior, and identifies a number of challenges China will face in the future.
