At a time when globalization has side-lined many of the traditional, state-based addressees of legal accountability, it is not clear yet how blame is allocated and contested in the new, highly differentiated, multi-actor governance arrangements of the global economy and world society. Moral Agency and the Politics of Responsibility investigates how actors in complex governance arrangements assign responsibilities to order the world and negotiate who is responsible for what and how. The book asks how moral duties can be defined beyond the territorial and legal confines of the nation-state; and how obligations and accountability mechanisms for a post-national world, in which responsibility remains vague, ambiguous and contested, can be established. Using an empirical as well as a theoretical perspective, the book explores ontological framings of complexity emphasizing emergence and non-linearity, which challenge classic liberal notions of responsibility and moral agency based on the autonomous subject. Moral Agency and the Politics of Responsibility is perfect for scholars from International Relations, Politics, Philosophy and Political Economy with an interest in the topical and increasingly popular topics of moral agency and complexity.

The 1990s saw a constant increase in international peace missions, predominantly led by the United Nations, whose mandates were more and more extended to implement societal and political transformations in post-conflict societies. However, in many cases these missions did not meet the high expectations and did not acquire a sufficient legitimacy on the local level. Written by leading experts in the field, this edited volume brings together ‘liberal’ and ‘post-liberal’ approaches to peacebuilding. Besides challenging dominant peacebuilding paradigms, the book scrutinizes how far key concepts of post-liberal peacebuilding offer sound categories and new perspectives to reframe peacebuilding research. It thus moves beyond the ‘liberal’–‘post-liberal’ divide and systematically integrates further perspectives, paving the way for a new era in peacebuilding research which is theory-guided, but also substantiated in the empirical analysis of peacebuilding practices.This book will be essential reading for postgraduate students and scholar-practitioners working in the field of peacebuilding. By embedding the subject area into different research perspectives, the book will also be relevant for scholars who come from related backgrounds, such as democracy promotion, transitional justice, statebuilding, conflict and development research and international relations in general.

Corruption is usually understood as hampering political development, economic growth and democratic participation of citizens, but comparing the effects of corruption for different political regimes presents astonishingly complex findings. The ongoing persistence of corruption underlines that it is not only dysfunctional, but can be highly functional as well. This special issue brings together contributions from comparative politics, political science and economics which precisely focus on these (dys) functionalities of corruption in political regimes across various world regions. The question of methodological pluralism is especially important for studying corruption comparatively. While on an international level a trend towards an increased use of quantitative methods in political science as well as in economics can be observed, the special issue underlines the importance of having a pluralistic approach for grasping the complex and multi-layered effects of the phenomenon. Of similar importance is the adoption of a comparative perspective that includes different world regions in order to understand the different roles of corruption in developing, transforming and developed countries alike.Dr. Tobias Debiel is Director of the Centre for Global Cooperation Research and of the Institute for Development and Peace (INEF). Since 2006, he is also Professor in International Relations and Development Policy, Institute of Political Science, University of Duisburg-Essen.Dr. Andrea Gawrich is Professor for International Integration at the University of Gießen.

Die etablierte internationale Ordnung der vergangen 25 Jahre ist aus den Fugen: Nach den Hoffnungen auf eine Art ‚ewigen Frieden'' nach Ende der bipolaren Weltordnung und dem kurzen ‚unipolaren Moment'' durch die allein dominierende USA scheinen etablierte Paradigmen wie Multilateralismus und ‚Global Governance'' unter die Räder zu kommen. Gleichzeitig ist die Steuerungsfähigkeit, nicht nur seitens der Staaten, in vielen Bereichen der Weltpolitik bestenfalls fragwürdig. Dies ist angesichts der massiven Ungleichverteilung von Lebens- und Entwicklungschancen sowie vor dem Hintergrund zahlreicher Krisen und Konflikte ein deprimierender Befund. Die Frage nach internationaler Ordnung ist damit (erneut) in den Fokus der internationalen Politik geraten. Die Liste an Herausforderungen ist lang: Klimawandel, Ressourcenknappheit, Flüchtlingsbewegungen, transnationaler Terrorismus, Verbreitung von Massenvernichtungswaffen, ungebändigte globale Finanzmärkte, regionale Konflikte (allen voran die Eskalation der Gewalt im Nahen Osten), Rückkehr zur Konfrontation mit Russland usw. Dabei zeigt sich immer deutlicher die Interdependenz in einer globalisierten Welt, in der es keine ‚Komfortzonen'' mehr gibt, in denen die ‚Probleme der anderen'' weitgehend ignoriert werden könnten. Noch befördert werden diese Problemlagen durch die Machtverschiebungen im internationalen System, die ihrerseits eine Reihe von Fragen aufwerfen: Werden die neuen Großmächte wie China und Indien in einer solchen multipolaren Weltordnung die etablierten Instrumente weiterhin mittragen, sogar stärken – oder aber ignorieren und ihrerseits Alternativen schaffen? Geraten die Vereinten Nationen als traditionelle Steuerungsinstanz der Weltpolitik zunehmend ins Abseits? Welche Rolle kann der ‚Westen'' – auch mit Hinblick auf die geostrategische Neuorientierung der USA – in einem solchen Gefüge einnehmen?Diese Ausgabe von POLITIKUM fragt danach, wie die Welt heute geordnet ist bzw.
