The Future of Global Affairs “The Future of Global Affairs is an exciting and balanced contribution to the debate about the potential trajectory of a world in flux. Tinged more with concern than utopian optimism, this volume captures a panoramic view of our cacophonous and disorderly world that is on the verge of disequilibrium and potential destruction unless key political actors, institutions, and processes can find a way to adapt global affairs to an increasingly plurilateral and intermestic era. A must-read for serious IR scholars; written in a way that is understandable to the lay person.” —W. Andy Knight, Ph.D., FRSC, University of Alberta “What is the future of the state? Is multilateralism overrated as an answer to the diverse ills plaguing the global system? How might climate change disrupt geopolitical alliances that have been essential to peace in different regions of the world? Inspired by these and other urgent questions, this simultaneously illuminating and profoundly unsettling book traces the contours of the ascendant geopolitics, illustrating how one class of events can have contrasting resonances and implications around the world. Each chapter explores a different facet of global affairs, offering perspectives that, though not rosy, serious students of world politics will do well to take to heart.” —Ebenezer Obadare, Professor of Sociology, University of Kansas
