Just Security in an Undergoverned World is a welcome follow-up to the far-sighted work of the Albright-Gambari Commission on Global Security, Justice, & Governance, with diverse, expert authors offering well-honed ideas on critical global problems as the UN approaches its milestone 75th anniversary in 2020.

Jan Eliasson, former Deputy Secretary-General and President of the UN General Assembly

The contributors to this volume argue that the distinction between those directly affected by today's economic and security challenges, and those who have considered themselves "remote spectators", is no longer tenable. In proposing global governance reforms that aim at both effectiveness and fairness, the authors seek to bring justice and security together, rather than perpetuating the mantra that they are incompatible. They also move beyond short term remedies for managing or mitigating violent conflict and climate change, and offer more hopeful strategies of prevention.

Jennifer Welsh, European University Institute

By ensuring that neither justice nor security is neglected by international policymakers, the volume offers fresh analysis on the imperative of an equitable response to climate change. Its insights for fashioning new tools and institutions to combat runaway climate change are in line with a renewed search globally for practical and urgent means of action.

Just Security in an Undergoverned World examines how humankind can manage global problems to achieve both security and justice in an age of antithesis. Global connectivity is increasing, visibly and invisiblyin trade, finance, culture, and informationhelping to spur economic growth, technological advance, and greater understanding and freedom, but global disconnects are growing as well. Ubiquitous electronics rely on high-value minerals scraped from the earth by miners kept poor by corruption and war. People abandon burning states for the often indifferent welcome of wealthier lands whose people, in turn, draw into themselves. Humanity's very success, underwritten in large part by lighting up gigatons of long-buried carbon for 200 years, now threatens humanity's future. The global governance institutions established after World War II to manage global threats, especially the twin scourges of war and poverty, have expanded in reach and impact, while paradoxically losing the political support of some of their wealthiest and most powerful members. Their problems mimic those of their members in struggling to adapt to new problems and maintain trust in norms and public bodies. This volume argues, however, that a properly mandated, managed, and modernized global architecture offers unparalleled potential to midwife solutions to intractable issuesfrom violent conflict and climate change to poverty and pandemic diseasethat transcend borders and the capacities of individual actors. It offers just security as a new framework for charing innovating solutions and strategies for effective and essential global governance.
