Hegemony in International Society

This is the centrepiece of a three-year ESRC Professorial Fellowship. It covers three disparate areas: theory, historical cases, and contemporary (policy) cases, all of which had then to be fully integrated. The theoretical framing of legitimacy had already been developed in the author’s two preceding books over several years. Of the three policy case studies, two were on new topics not within the researcher’s existing expertise (climate change and East Asia) and therefore required much preparatory work before they could be theoretically explored. The overall range of the work has been warmly acknowledged by reviewers.
