Thomas G. Weiss
"Tom Weiss's book is published in the International Studies
Intensives (ISI) series which is addressed at students and intended
"to offer an intensive introduction to subjects often left out of
the curriculum." [I]t achieves this objective, and more, by
providing an introduction to the state of the field of
International Relations (IR) studies and helpful bibliographic
leads for more intensive reading. As a survey book, Governing the
World? amply illustrates the ever increasing chasm between pressing
global problems and the woefully inadequate institutions charged
with resolving them."
-ACUNS Review
"Governing the World? is a sure-footed guide to the perplexities of
governing globalization. When problems come without passports,
governance beyond the state becomes necessary. Drawing on decades
of experience and insight, Tom Weiss illuminates the problems and
demonstrates that solutions are at hand in reformed international
institutions, both governmental and nongovernmental."
-Michael Doyle, Columbia University
"In Governing the World?, Tom Weiss lucidly draws on his broad
academic and practical experience with global issues to reflect on
capacity gaps in governing the world today. In doing so, he weaves
into his insights a rich trove of scholarly and policy accounts to
give us a much-needed conceptual and analytical tool to theorize
and to develop a framework for global governance."
-Charlotte Ku, University of Illinois College of Law
"Governing the World? is the best concise treatment of global
governance available. Professor Weiss builds on a distinguished
record of scholarship on international cooperation over many
decades. He delivers a judicious, informed, and approachable
treatment of the most significant issues surrounding collective
action in international and global society. His analysis is also
refreshingly, but not unrealistically, optimistic."
-S. Neil MacFarlane, University of Oxford
