Laying
the foundations of a theory of ‘international social closure’ this book
examines how actors compete for a seat at the table in the management of
international society and how that competition stratifies the international
domain.
In a broad historical survey from the ‘Family of Civilised
Nations’, through the Great Powers’ club, to the G7 and G20 today, Naylor
investigates the politics of membership in the exclusive clubs that manage
international society and ensure its survival, providing us with a new way to
think about how status competition has changed over time and what this means
for international politics today. With its sociologically grounded theory, this
book advances English School scholarship and transforms the study of
contemporary summitry, providing a ground-breaking approach rooted in archival
research, elite interviews, and ethnographic participant observation.
This book is of interest to international
relations scholars interested in the ‘expansion’ and globalisation of
international society, the history of international summits, and
transformations in international order, as well as to those examining concepts
including stratification, hierarchy, and networked governance. With its
emphasis on non-state actors in global governance, scholars and practitioners
alike working on/for civil society will also find this research of great value.
