Routledge Studies in Religion and Politics

The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks asks 'Who speaks for the Catholic Church during a humanitarian crisis?' and answers that there is no single voice; only a plurality of Catholic actors whose relationships with the Holy See differ sharply, and whose humanitarian work is shaped as much by internal organisational dynamics and Church politics as by the crises they respond to.This book offers the first comparative study of three of the world's most significant Catholic humanitarian networks: the Caritas confederation, the Jesuit Refugee Service, and the Community of Sant'Egidio, through drawing on over thirty interviews and extensive fieldwork in Rome and the Vatican. Each network occupies a distinct status (dependent, semi-dependent, and independent organisations) in relation to Church hierarchy, producing strikingly different approaches to assisting refugees and forced migrants. Moving between the internal governance of the Church and the external landscape of secular humanitarianism, the book exposes a persistent and more nuanced "religious literacy gap" among UN agencies, donors, and NGOs working alongside faith-based partners. Combining an interpretivist, practitioner-informed methodology at the intersection of IR, religion, and humanitarianism, Dr Intropido directly engaged with diplomats, humanitarian workers, and Church officials, offering both a new theoretical account of religious actors in world politics and a practical checklist for anyone partnering with Catholic humanitarian organisations.The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks will be essential reading for students and scholars of religion and politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology of religion, humanitarian, development, and migration studies, and for practitioners navigating the increasingly visible role of religion in global affairs.

Religion, Migration, and the Humanitarian Babel

The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks

In a moment of interlocking and compounding crises that many commentators have aptly termed the "polycrisis," a leading economist offers a clear-eyed account of the underlying trends fueling the global instability and market mayhem that have come to characterize contemporary capitalism. 
 
Rampant inequality. Unchecked climate change. A global pandemic. And now, seething international divisions and the escalatory spiral of war and state violence. As the world moves toward the end of the 2020s, each of the pieces of this mosaic are becoming impossible to ignore, but how do they all fit together? And where is it all heading? 
 
To answer these questions, Marxist economist Michael Roberts draws on his forty-plus years of experience working in various financial institutions in the City of London to provide an empirically grounded and wide-ranging appraisal of the global situation. 
 
Roberts takes readers on a tour of the contemporary global economy, first by turning back to the Great Recession of 2008, and then offering a granular look at the economic priorities and contradictions of every region of the world. 
 
What emerges from this accounting of the polycrisis is the inescapable fact that capitalism's rapacious drive toward profit over and against any geopolitical boundaries or ecological limits threatens both humanity and the planet.&nbsp;

Depression, Polycrisis, and the World Economy in the 2020s

Time Is Running Out

Ist der Meeresboden längst schon zum politischen Schlachtfeld geworden?Die Welt ist auf ein Netz von Unterwasserleitungen auf dem Meeresboden angewiesen. Jeden Tag übertragen Tiefseekabel nahezu sämtliche Daten der Welt, während interkontinentale Pipelines zwei Drittel des weltweiten Öls und Gastransports bewältigen. Sie erfüllen ihre Aufgaben so zuverlässig, dass kaum jemand vermuten würde, dass sich "die Cloud" tatsächlich unter Wasser befindet oder dass die globale wirtschaftliche Stabilität von diesen Unterwasserleitungen auf dem Meeresboden abhängt. Doch es tobt längst ein erbitterter Kampf um die Kabel und Pipelines. Krieg in der Tiefe erzählt die Geschichte der Unterwasserinfrastruktur, die unser tägliches Leben ermöglicht: Nach Jahrzehnten scheinbarer Harmonie unter Wasser explodierten im Jahr 2022 auf mysteriöse Weise zwei Pipelines in der Ostsee. Innerhalb weniger Monate signalisierten die Unterbrechung der Datenverbindungen zwischen den taiwaneischen Matsu-Inseln und der Welt sowie die anschließende Zerstörung weiterer Kabel in der Ostsee, dass die Harmonie in den Tiefen des Ozeans endgültig vorbei ist.Packend und informativ erklärt die preisgekrönte Sicherheitsexpertin Elisabeth Braw, weshalb sich der nächste Kampf der Supermächte um die globale Vorherrschaft auf dem Meeresboden abspielen wird.

Sabotage, Machtkämpfe und die neue Bedrohung unter Wasser

Krieg in der Tiefe

Neue Kleine Bibliothek

Der globale Kapitalismus befindet sich in der Dauerkrise. Globale Finanzkrise, Eurokrise, 'Flüchtlingskrise', Corona­krise, Krise im Ergebnis der neuen Kriege von der Ukraine bis Nahost: Kaum scheint ein Krisenherd unter Kontrolle, schlägt die Dauerkrise aus einer unerwarteten Richtung zurück. Durch die Krisen verändert sich jedoch, wie schon immer in der Geschichte, auch der Kapitalismus selbst: Neoliberale Weltordnung und unangefochtene US-Hegemonie waren einmal. In den Konflikten um Aufstieg und Abstieg von Großmächten wird der Kapitalismus postliberal: Ent­demokratisierung, Autoritarismus, (Wirtschafts-)Nationalismus, Militarismus, Imperialismus und (Wirtschafts-)Krieg sind die neue Normalität. Am Horizont zeichnen sich die Konturen eines neuen Kalten Kriegs mit Aussicht auf heiße Stellvertreterkriege und Eskalation ab. Aber können die großen Menschheitsfragen wie Frieden, Sicherheit, soziale Ungleichheit, sozialer Zusammenhalt, Demokratie, Nachhaltigkeit, Klimaschutz und Artensterben warten? Ingar Solty zeigt Ursachen und Hintergründe der Krise auf - und Alternativen für eine bessere Zukunft für alle.

Renationalisierung - Krise - Krieg

Der postliberale Kapitalismus

This book reframes the question of how Africa industrializes, and is the first to address a key challenge facing African economies today: achieving structural transformation alongside decarbonization, i.e. industrializing and greening simultaneously, rather than sequentially as earlier developers did. 

Drawing on primary fieldwork across five national economies - Ethiopia, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa - and six strategic sectors, accounting for 40% of Africa's GDP and a third of its population, Arkebe Oqubay advances the concept of Green Productive Transformation, in which structural economic change and decarbonization are treated as mutually constitutive imperatives rather than competing objectives. The comparative evidence demonstrates that where government policy, industrial hubs, and firm capabilities are strategically aligned, productive transformation and green transformation reinforce each other; where they are not, industrial growth follows the path of least environmental resistance, producing carbon lock-in. 

Just transition and energy transition frameworks are designed primarily with industrialized economies in mind. This book challenges the utility of these frameworks for Africa, and instead advances a domestically-driven alternative, grounded in structural transformation theory, green industrial policy, and the political economy of late development. No single green pathway exists for Africa: the evidence presented here reveals conditional pathways shaped by national context, sectoral configuration, and policy choice. A green, productive Africa is not an inevitable outcome of global technological change, but it is genuinely within reach, and the first step is getting the analysis right.

This book clarifies all legal aspects of the good neighbourliness principle in international and EU law. It elaborates on the most acute infringements of the principle of good neighbourliness in both international relations and EU enlargement policy. Taking a two-part approach, it offers the international law and EU law perspectives. Over five chapters, it sets out the legal framework and the practical application of the principle, before setting out conclusions on the effectiveness of that application. Given the current focus on enlargement and accession to the EU this is a timely and topical study in an under-researched field.

Contributions to Economics

International trade has long been governed by principles of fairness and multilateral cooperation, from the lex mercatoria to GATT and the WTO. Yet, rising protectionism and strategic competition have challenged these norms. This book examines how Donald Trump’s trade policies—spanning two administrations—reshaped global trade and strained the rules-based system.
Through empirical analysis, case studies, and expert interviews, the book explores the WTO’s legitimacy crisis, U.S.-China trade wars, and tariffs on allies under “America First.” It analyzes sectoral dynamics in rare earths and semiconductors, regional shifts in Latin America and ASEAN, and the broader geoeconomic consequences of U.S. actions. By linking historical evolution with contemporary disruptions, the work addresses critical questions: Can the WTO remain relevant? How will emerging industries redefine trade? What are the long-term implications of U.S. assertiveness for global governance?
Combining theoretical, historical, and pragmatic perspectives, this book offers a balanced view of trade as a tool of power politics in a multipolar world. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the future of international trade amid growing nationalism and institutional transformation.
