This book brings to light a neglected program of cosmopolitan normativity in international law - innate cosmopolitanism. Whilst liberal cosmopolitanism is organized around the abstract individual, and constitutional cosmopolitanism is organized around the achievement of a formal arrangement, innate cosmopolitanism, is organized around a naturally-occurring collective whole: comprising all of humanity at any point in time, and understood as a historical phenomenon capable of exhibiting a will, interests or ends of its own. As such, innate cosmopolitanism is, he argues, is the leitmotif of international law. The book thus brings to light an ill-appreciated stream of cosmopolitan normativity in international law, and subject it to critique.

This book brings to light a neglected program of cosmopolitan normativity in international law – innate cosmopolitanism – that holds special significance in this time of competing efforts to define and direct an expanding global public order. Beginning from an intentionally broad use of the term cosmopolitan, derived from etymological roots in the cosmo-polis, Geoff Gordon draws out the main streams of thought associated with cosmopolitanism over time in discourses of international law and politics. The two best-recognized are liberal cosmopolitanism and constitutional cosmopolitanism. And, In addition to these, he introduces a third: innate cosmopolitanism. Whilst liberal cosmopolitanism is organized around the abstract individual, and constitutional cosmopolitanism is organized around the achievement of a formal arrangement, innate cosmopolitanism, is organized around a naturally-occurring collective whole: comprising all of humanity at any point in time, and understood as a historical phenomenon capable of exhibiting a will, interests or ends of its own. As such, innate cosmopolitanism is more central to the historical narrative of international law than either liberal or constitutional cosmopolitanism. It is, he argues, is the leitmotif of international law. Clarifying, consolidating – and critiquing – cosmopolitan thought, the book thus brings to light an ill-appreciated stream of cosmopolitan normativity in international law, and subject it to critique. It will be of huge interest to specialists and students of international law and politics, and especially those concerned with ideas and theories of global order or international society.

Innate Cosmopolitanism

In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.After a childhood in tumultuous west and north Africa, Thiam broke barriers in the elitist world of French higher education, becoming one of the first black consultants at McKinsey and Company before entering the Ivorian government. After a coup forced him into exile, he joined the world of finance, where his rise saw him named as CEO of Prudential in London and Credit Suisse in Zurich. Along the way, he was trained and supported by many both in the public and private sector who made his many achievements as a leader possible. However, his rise to prominence as the only African, black and Muslim boss of large Western corporations was also accompanied with disproportionate public and media scrutiny, as well as racism and xenophobia.A blend of autobiography, business, politics, and personal philosophy, his book offers a unique vantage point on corporate and political life in Africa, Europe, the United States and Asia. In a story that spans from his father's politically motivated imprisonment to the business principles that took Thiam to the top of global finance, he shares a personal and professional story that is equal parts inspirational and aspirational.

A Memoir

Without Prejudice

Routledge Studies in Health in Africa

Over the past 30 years, an ever-expanding community of global health actors have been intervening in the poorest parts of the world with the aim of combatting disease and improving health outcomes. While many global health programmes in the Global South have been successful in saving lives, their successes have often been compromised by poor coordination, inefficiency and a lack of alignment with national priorities.This book outlines the deep historical and political dimensions of this fragmentation, using rural Zambia as a case study. In the name of global health, different actors produce and circulate radically different stories about how to improve health. These narratives not only contribute to a fragmented landscape of health provision but also create more subtle and pervasive forms of fragmentation in the everyday lives of health workers, patients and government officials. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in rural Zambia, this book examines three different global health interventions driven by differing stories of salvation, community and experimentation. Tracing the longer history of these stories, the book shows how they have failed to account for the realities of life in rural Zambia.Providing an innovative and nuanced analysis of global health that challenges the idea of fragmentation as simply a technical problem, this book will be an important read for researchers of global health and African studies.

Global Health in Fragments

A revelatory exploration of how today's right-wing authoritarianism emerged not in opposition to neoliberalism, but from within it FINALIST FOR THE 2025 NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS 'Bracingly original... Hayek's Bastards demonstrates how a history of ideas can be riveting... His book offers an illuminating history to our current bewildering moment, as right-wing populists join forces with billionaire oligarchs to take a chain saw to the foundations of public life, until there's nothing left to stand on' - Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times After the end of the Cold War, neoliberalism, with its belief in the virtues of markets and competition, seemed to have triumphed. Communism had been defeated - and Friedrich Hayek, the spiritual father of neoliberal economics, had just about lived to see it. But in the decades that followed, Hayek's disciples knew that they had a problem. The rise of social movements, from civil rights and feminism to environmentalism, were now proving roadblocks in the road to freedom, nurturing a culture of government dependency, public spending, political correctness and special pleading. Neoliberals needed an antidote. In this illuminating new book, historian Quinn Slobodian reveals how, from the 1990s onwards, neoliberal thinkers turned to nature, in an attempt to roll back social changes and to return to a hierarchy of gender, race and cultural difference. He explores how these thinkers drew on the language of science, from cognitive psychology to genetics, in order to embed the idea of 'competition' ever deeper into social life, and to advocate cultural homogeneity as essential for markets to truly work. Reading and misreading the writings of their sages, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, they forged the alliances with racial psychologists, neo-confederates, ethnonationalists that would become known as the alt-right. Hayek's Bastards shows that many contemporary iterations of the Far Right, from Javier Milei to Donald Trump, emerged not in opposition to neoliberalism, but within it. As repellent as their politics may be, these supposed disruptors are not defectors from the neoliberal order, but its latest cheerleaders.

First published in 1960, The Economy of Israel presents a critical account of the first ten years of Israeli economy. The book starts with a short description of the physical nature of the country and an examination of the Zionist ideas which played a decisive role in the formation of Israel. Part I of the book surveys the economy of Israel and traces the significant features of its development between 1948 and 1958. Part II is not a photograph of Israel's exchange regulations at one particular date, but an eclectic account of the variable features of a flexible system that had but one constant factor, namely, the absence at any time of an effective unitary exchange rate. Part III of the book contains some general observations that are largely speculative. The book concludes with an examination of the prospects of Israel's economy with special reference to the charitable aid which has provided it with its life blood during the first decade.This is an important historical account for scholars and researchers of economics, Middle East economics, and history of Israel.

In an era of increasing geopolitical turmoil, this book looks at the impact of geopolitics on global supply chains and examines the role of China in East Asia's regional economic integration.It evaluates the impact of geoeconomic fragmentation along different dimensions such as trade, FDI and capital flows, and provides insights into different industries and sectors where trade and investments are increasingly being reallocated and reshuffled. The book further explores how geopolitics may accelerate the internationalisation of China's renminbi, which herald significant implications for the international monetary system. As geopolitical tensions arising from the US-China trade war continue to persist, the global semiconductor industry has also become the epicentre of US-China strategic rivalry, placing immense strain on its fragmented, global value chain. This book analyses the implications of this intensifying technological rivalry for East Asia, including the ASEAN economies.This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Asian economics, international trade, and geoeconomics. Policymakers searching for insight into Asian trade and financial markets may also find this book useful.

During recent years the financing of local government has become a key issue in developed countries. This book, originally published in 1988 looks at attempts to reform local finance in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, France, Norway, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland. Case studies of attempts to bolster or reform local government finance cover a wide range of leading industrialised economies. These are preceded by theoretical chapters on the nature of fiscal federalism and fiscal crises, followed by an international overview of local taxing and spending.

International Perspectives

Local Government Finance

The Political Economy of International Financial Instability (1986) discusses international financial problems as a global issue, concentrating on systemic interactions. The interrelations among nation states, international organizations and market forces provide the framework for analysis. This global perspective emphasizes the interaction between political and economic elements.

The Political Economy of International Financial Instability

Originally published in 1976, this book examines how and why local government reforms came about and what influences, pressures and compromises were involved. At the time of publication it provided the most detailed account so far of the process by which the 1972 Local Government Act was approved by Parliament following the Redcliffe-Maud report and two White Papers. At the same time, as a case study of the British policy-making process, it examines more general issues about the political manoeuvring of groups in conflict, the concept of 'government by Commission' and the range of strategies which were open to Government decision makers. The book will prove essential reading for students of the history of British Government policy-making and political processes, and of administrative change and innovation.
