OverviewExpansive and engaging, this book investigates the fluidity of sites of power and authority in global politics. Examining the key shifts and turns of politics in globally oriented spaces since the end of the Cold War, contributions from leading scholars explore the continually shifting parameters of global governance. The book assesses how, in this ever-evolving global space, norms and rules are constantly being challenged and new technologies are altering the scope and uses of political power. Chapters explore these reconfigurations of authority, power, and territoriality, critically analysing the implications of the rise of multiple states as powerful actors in the international system, dissecting the dominant discourse on the securitization of migration and displacement, and assessing the growing divide between legality and legitimacy in world politics. In demonstrating how expectations of legitimacy in governance structures and processes have become more pronounced, the book ultimately exposes the limitations in the transformative potential of the liberal international order. Offering interdisciplinary perspectives on critical world order challenges, this wide-ranging book is an essential resource for scholars of international relations, international law, political theory, critical security studies, and migration studies. It will also be of particular interest to practitioners working in intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Stephen J.

Rosow Index 145Reviews'This book points us to the importance of a much neglected topic in international affairs - legitimate authority. Not only does it remind us of the centrality of who governs and why we follow them, but links it to the shifting geostrategic developments in the 21st century. Few works combine theory and evidence in such an important and interesting way, including works by some top scholars in the field. Well worth the read!' -- Anthony Lang Jr., University of St Andrews, UK 'A uniquely sophisticated study of global politics and governance, Reconfigurations of Authority, Power and Territoriality pursues its aims with a depth and intensity that never loses sight of the real relations that shape our world today. Attuned to the interplay of power, ideas, and norms, Reconfigurations offers a guide to thinking about the crucial transformations underway in the global realm.' -- Robert Latham, York University, Canada Author InformationEdited by Stephen J.
