International institutions are less and less able to solve global problems even as we need them more and more. Gridlock offers a lucid and concise set of explanations for the dysfunction we observe across the security, economic, and environmental arenas. Best of all, by identifying systemic patterns of failure and the underlying causes, the authors are able to put forward a useful set of practical solutions. A great read for policymakers and experts; also ideal for an undergraduate syllabus.
Anne-Marie Slaughter , Princeton University
There is no shortage of books that make the case for global cooperation; this one explains why we are not getting it. Ranging over international security, the global economy, and the environment, this excellent and sensible book elucidates why our global commons is becoming increasingly unmanageable, as a result in part of the very success of the post-war international system.
Dani Rodrik, Harvard University
The authors provide a timely reminder that success in one area of the global agenda can actually bring about positive outcomes in other domains. Conversely, they show that a lack of progress in any one area can undermine progress across the whole multilateral order with the consequence that global governance fails to adapt to the 21st century. A must read for those thinking about a better global governance.
Pascal Lamy, Director-General of the World Trade Organization
There is a cosmopolitan imperative: cooperate or fail! This is an eye-opening and encouraging book. Not only does it present an analysis of why global cooperation is failing, but it also offers pathways out of gridlock.
Ulrich Beck, University of Munich
