It is equally common to note the failures of the international institutions the world relies on to address such challenges. As the acclaimed 2013 book \u003ci\u003eGridlock\u003c\/i\u003e argued, the world increasingly needs effective international cooperation, but multilateralism appears unable to deliver it in the face of deepening interdependence, rising multipolarity, and the growing complexity and fragmentation that characterise the global order.\u003c\/p\u003e The \u003ci\u003eGridlock\u003c\/i\u003e authors have now partnered with a group of leading experts to offer a trenchant reassessment of elements of the argument. Comparing anomalies and exceptions to multilateral dysfunction across a number of spheres of world politics, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Gridlock\u003c\/i\u003e explores seven pathways through and beyond gridlock. While multilateralism continues to fall short, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Gridlock\u003c\/i\u003e identifies systematic means to avoid or resist these forces and turn them into collective solutions. This book offers a vital new perspective on world politics as well as a practical guide for positive change in global policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Hale\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Public Policy (Global Public Policy) at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eDavid Held\u003c\/b\u003e is Master of University College, and Professor of Politics and International Relations, at Durham University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e09 October 2017\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781509515714\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44380022210700,"sku":"9781509515714","price":64.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781509515714_6e3671e3-2716-461e-aeec-ad9e25d683fe.jpg?v=1780175884","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781509515714","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
