The Changing Political Map
of Global Governance
Anthony Payne, University of Sheffield, UK and Stephen Buzdugan,
Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
Series: Global Institutions
This text examines the nature and dynamics of modern global governance and its
institutions, from their inception to their current forms. It offers a fresh perspective
on this topic by focusing its analysis on the growing involvement over this period of
poor and middle-income countries in shaping the contours of global governance. It
charts the roots and explains the current rise to prominence within several key global
institutions of countries such as Brazil, China, India and South Africa, setting this
important political shift against the wider history of longstanding tensions in global
politics between so-called ‘Northern’ and ‘Southern’ countries.

An Introduction
Jussi Hanhimaki, Graduate Institute of International
Studies, Geneva, Switzerland, Benedikt Schoenborn,
University of Tampere, Finland and Barbara Zanchetta,
Finnish Institute of International Affairs, Helsinki
This new textbook will focus on the period since the defeat
of Nazi Germany, when links between United States and
Western Europe were created, extended, and multiplied.
This work emphasizes transatlantic interactions, and avoids
the temptation to focus on either U.S. ‘domination’ or
European attempts to ‘resist’ an American effort to
subjugate the old continent.

The International Relations of the
Contemporary Middle East
Subordination and After
Edited by Tareq Y. Ismael, University of Calgary, Canada and Glenn Perry,
Indiana State University, USA
Unlike a few decades ago, when it was meaningfully seen as an autonomous
subsystem of the global international political system—the Middle East now is
subordinate to the only remaining superpower, the United States, in alliance with
Israel (an unusual alliance in that the latter, as the local manifestation of a worldwide
movement, penetrates the political system of the former and, within limits,
sometimes dominates it) and Arab client regimes. Following an introductory chapter
that establishes the themes and structure of the text, this volume evaluates Middle
East politics within the context of contemporary international order.
