Beskrivning
The knowledge economy, a seeming wonder for the world, has caused unintended harms that threaten peace and prosperity and undo international cooperation and the international rule of law. The world faces threats of war, pandemics, growing domestic political discord, climate change, disruption of international trade and investment, immigration, and the pollution of cyberspace, just as international law increasingly falls short as a tool for managing these challenges. Prosperity dependent on meritocracy, open borders, international economic freedom, and a wide-open Internet has met its limits, with international law one of the first casualties. Any effective response to these threats must reflect the pathway by which these perils arrive. Part of the answer to these challenges, Paul B. Stephan argues, must include a re-conception of international law as arising out of pragmatic and limited experiments by states, rather than as grand projects to remake and redeem the world.

Recensioner i media

'At a time when we try to understand the crises the world is facing, this book digs deep and solves a big part of a puzzle. Knowledge is generally seen as good, but the knowledge economy as the input to globalization may produce undesired consequences. The book does not throw out the baby with the bath water but attempts to save liberal internationalism from itself with concrete proposals for international law and governance. A must-read for anybody seeking solutions to our current crises.' Anne van Aaken, University of Hamburg
