Edited by Aoife O'Donoghue, Professor of Law, Queen's University Belfast, School of Law, Ruth Houghton, Senior Lecturer, Newcastle Law School, Newcastle University, UK and Cher Weixia Chen, Associate Professor, School of Integrative Studies, George Mason University, USA

‘In an age of war, climate catastrophe, pandemics, and political upheaval, this Research Handbook confronts the central dilemma of our time: humanity faces global, borderless crises, yet our responses increasingly retreat into fragmented, local silos. A vital, interdisciplinary discourse for reimagining governance in an interconnected world.’
