'At a time when we try to understand the crises the world is facing, this book digs deep and solves a big part of a puzzle. Knowledge is generally seen as good, but the knowledge economy as the input to globalization may produce undesired consequences. The book does not throw out the baby with the bath water but attempts to save liberal internationalism from itself with concrete proposals for international law and governance. A must-read for anybody seeking solutions to our current crises.' Anne van Aaken, University of Hamburg 'A brilliant account of the economic, social, and political factors contributing to the unraveling of international law and institutions since the heyday of 'liberal internationalism.' Stephan persuasively shows how the accelerating pace of technological change induced by the knowledge economy explains this unraveling, and how nations can spark new forms of international cooperation to respond to global challenges. This book is a must-read for understanding where international law is today.' Jack Goldsmith, Harvard Law School
