The concept of responsibility has emerged as central to the study of international politics. This book explores responsibility as a cross-cutting theme spanning across three governance sectors: the environment, business, and security. The authors explore how the rise of responsibility implicates underlying moral values in global politics. 'There has been burgeoning interest in recent years in the topic of responsibility in world politics. This book sets itself apart by looking at the 'rise of responsibility' as a political process: one grounded in contestation, negotiation, agency, and practice. Within these pages, a world-class group of contributors identifies patterns across three global policy fields. This process ultimately adds up to something greater than the sum of its parts. Overall, this is an excellent edited book.' David J Karp, Senior Lecturer in International Relations,University of Sussex
