Getting Action In World Politics

By Leonard Seabrooke

(Copenhagen Business School and NUPI)

How do non-officially mandated actors control issues in world politics? This short book theorizes and typologizes action in world politics along three dimensions: (1) forms of action (projection, interaction and protection); (2) forms for action (instruments, intermediaries and infrastructures); and (3) spaces of action (fields, networks and ecologies). The empirical chapters are a walkthrough of these action logics with a variety of examples, ranging from asylum consultancies, sustainability standard-setters and tax activists; through central banking symposia, policy training networks and border surveillance fairs; to board selection in economic policy and human rights. Overall, this investigation of professional action in world politics seeks to link mechanisms of action from particular actors to aggregated unintended consequences in transnational relations.
