Summary
Summary
This edited volume examines power in its different dimensions in global governance. Scholars tend to underestimate the importance of power in international relations because of a failure to see its multiple forms. To expand the conceptual aperture, this book presents and employs a taxonomy that alerts scholars to the different kinds of power that are present in world politics. A team of international scholars demonstrate how these different forms connect and intersect in global governance in a range of different issue areas. Bringing together a variety of theoretical perspectives, this volume invites scholars to reconsider their conceptualization of power in world politics and how such a move can enliven and enrich their understanding of global governance.

Choice Review
This edited volume is the product of a conference titled "Who Governs in Global Governance?" held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in April 2003. Barnett and Duvall (Univ. of Minnesota) brought together many notable scholars who use various genres, perspectives, and techniques to examine and shed new light on the multiple forms of power (compulsory power, institutional power, structural power, and productive power) and their interconnectedness to global governance, which the authors believe has been relegated to the backwater by scholars in the field. The 13 articles in this volume emphasize new research and interpretations, and offer a nuanced understanding of power in global politics. The book provides a good initial examination of power outside the realist tradition and should trigger further thinking and research on this important subject. ^BSumming Up: Recommended.
