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.

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.

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.
