Global Challenges, Global Contestations, and the Reproduction of Global OrdersReviews“In a world in which talk of global challenges abounds, inquiring into how these are constructed is necessary to understand how global authority structures are legitimized. The many rich contributions to this volume show how the notion of ‘global challenges’ represents a new mode of constructing objectivity by blending a sense of urgency and claims to universality together in areas where ongoing struggles for power and meaning in world politics intersect. Innovative and sophisticated, this volume should appeal to anyone interested in the hidden dynamics of power in world politics and global governance.” Jens Bartelson, Lund University, Sweden “German conceptual historian Reinhard Koselleck tells us that our future horizon is now filled by emergent crises rather than by hope of progress. Constructing Global Challenges in World Politics provides a thorough discussion of how stuff goes from being taken for granted to being global challenges, to being crises if left unsolved. Some will find it useful as an empirical exposure of hype, others as an abject lesson in how social construction actually works.” Iver B. Neumann, author of Governing the Global Polity “This engaging interdisciplinary volume breaks new ground by revealing how a multiplicity of actors engage in processes of universalizing, bundling, upscaling and creating urgency to achieve the improbable: the construction of a global challenge.” Sigrid Quack, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany, and co-editor of Imagining Pathways for Global Cooperation Author InformationAlina Isakova is a doctoral researcher with the Research Training Group “World Politics” at Bielefeld University, Germany.
