Beskrivning

Sharing Security is a unique and comprehensive study of a key yet often neglected feature of modern international society. It begins by assessing how political theory can contribute to an understanding of international burdensharing. It then analyses in turn why some Western states contribute more than others to common defences, the European Union budget and overseas development aid. It highlights the particular burdensharing problems involved in global regimes, focusing on the UN's continuing financial crisis and the costs of combating global warming. It argues that today's burdensharing disparities continue to be shaped by the particular character of the international settlement at the end of the Second World War.

Recensioner i media

'Malcolm Chalmers takes the burdensharing issue beyond traditional concerns with defence to take in contributions to the whole range of international activities from development assistance to the UN. The result is an important work of theory, history, reference, analysis and policy all rolled up into one.' - Lawrence Freedman, Professor of War Studies, King's College, London 'Clearly written and comprehensive in its coverage, Sharing Security is a gold mind of information and new insights about international organizations and regimes. It is highly recommended to scholars, students and policymakers concerned about the prospects of global governance in the twenty-first century.' - Charles W Kegley, Jr Pearce Professor of International Relations, University of South Carolina
