Routledge Book Series: Globalisation, Europe, and Multilateralism
About the Series
The series offers an interdisciplinary platform for original work on the institutions, norms and practices associated with Globalisation, Multilateralism and the European Union. Each published volume delves into a given dynamic shaping either the global-regional nexus or the role of the EU therein. It offers original insights into: globalisation and its associated governance challenges; the changing forms of multilateral cooperation and the role of transnational networks; the impact of new global powers and the corollary multipolar order; the lessons born from comparative regionalism and interregional partnerships; as well as the distinctive instruments the EU mobilises in its foreign policies and external relations.
The GEM Series’ edited volumes, monographs and textbooks all aim at contributing to further innovation in the fields of European Integration and International Studies. An International Advisory Board with leading scholars from across all five continents further supports the series with input and guidance.
The series is produced under the auspices of an International Editorial Board including: A. Acharya (American University), S. Breslin (University of Warwick), R. Coman (ULB), M. Cremona (EUI), L. Fawcett (Oxford), A. Gamble (Cambridge), R.O. Keohane (Princeton), N. Levrat (UNIGE), C. Lequesne (IEP-Paris), L. Morlino (LUISS), T. Nakamura (Waseda), Y. Qin (CFAU), U. Salma Bava (JNU), V. Schmidt (Boston University); L. Seabrooke (CBS), K.E. Smith (LSE), A. Weyembergh (ULB), and M. Zürn (WZB).
