Rising Powers, NGOs, and Demands for New World Orders (original) (raw)

Oxford University Press eBooks, 2019

Abstract

The introduction develops a framework for analysing demands for change put forward towards contemporary world orders by both rising power and NGOs. It identifies two significant changes in world politics over the last two decades: the rise of new powers, and the rise of international authority. Against this backdrop, we present the conceptual tools to allow for comparisons in demands across actors and issue areas. In these ways, we aim at contributing to core debates in international politics: What kind of challenge to world order do rising powers represent? Do they constitute a coherent group in international politics? Do their demands have a systemic nature, or do we observe variance over different policy fields and forms of international institutions? Do rising powers’ and transnational NGOs’ demands intersect or diverge?
