Between 1995 and the present day, the world has undergone significant advances in international law, norms, and institutions. Progress was particularly intense in the fields of global environment, human security, cultural diversity, and human rights. This book reveals the key role played by the European Union, Japan, and Canada in this process.Between 1995 and the present day, the world has undergone significant advances in international law, norms, and institutions.

The post-Cold War order is unique in the history of world politics for having a hegemon generally unwilling or unable to lead. Who else has tried? When did they succeed, and when did they fail? What explains the difference? This fascinating collection offers a fresh perspective on these important questions. Theoretically creative and empirically rich, it helps us understand the patchy recent history of governance innovation better than any work to date.
David Welch, CIGI Chair of Global Security, Balsillie School of International Affairs and Professor of Political Science, University of Waterloo, Canada
