Enforcing Cooperation: Risky States and Intergovernmental Management of Conflict

by Gerald Schneider (Editor), Patricia A. Weitsman (Editor)

Overview

The emergence of a large number of states which are willing and able to challenge the norms of the international system constitutes a major challenge to the global community. The contributors to this volume analyse why so many states with high conflict propensities have emerged in the post-Cold war era; explore the different manifestations of riskiness in world politics; and evaluate the international community's capacity to effectively 'enforce' inter-state cooperation.
