Two-Level Role Theory and EU Migration

Release Date: 2024-12-02
Applying role theory and Putnam’s two-level game framework to the European migration crisis of 2015, Magdalena Kozub-Karkut expertly shows how the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland used the crisis to contest their roles in the European Union (EU) and how each country and the V4, as a group, subsequently used their new contested roles in the bargaining process within the EU structures. In doing so, Kozub-Karkut demonstrates how international negotiations might be used by the chief negotiators as a way of triggering contestation and enhancing their position at the domestic level as well as how role contestation processes from the domestic level might be used at the international one. Two-Level Role Theory and EU Migration is an excellent resource for scholars and students of Foreign Policy Analysis, International Relations Theory, European Studies, and Migrations Studies.

National Role Conception and Neoclassical Realism
Despite China’s alignment with Russia being one of the most significant factors shaping the international order, the dynamics of their historic relationships and, more importantly, the sources of China’s alignment policy remain underexplored. In this book, National Role Conception and Neoclassical Realism, a synthetic exploration into the Sino-Soviet alignment, Guangyi Pan investigates this question by analysing the changes in China’s national role conception from a cross-level perspective. Adding value to existing scholarly works on China’s decision-making logic, he examines two critical and dramatic moments in the history of Beijing’s alignment policy towards Moscow: the Sino-Soviet split in the 1960s and the normalisation in the 1980s. Based on massive historic documents and archives, he argues that the evolution of Beijing’s approach to aligning with Moscow results from its changing perception of China’s role in the world platform, especially its role relationship with the Soviet Union. The fundamental logic lies in how China positions itself, with the Soviet Union long serving as a mirror reflecting Beijing’s desired roles during pivotal transformations. By developing a more rigorous and coherent framework to analyse role conceptions, Guangyi Pan explores unit-level factors – including leader images, elite cohesion and political culture – alongside the impact of systemic stimuli. This approach constructs the complex process of role formation, evolution, performance and policy outcomes, offering a comprehensive understanding of China’s alignment with Russia throughout modern history. Aimed primarily at scholars whose research fields include international relations theory, the Cold War history and politics of China, National Role Conception and Neoclassical Realism may also be of interest to foreign policymakers, students and political history enthusiasts.
China and Climate Leadership
In this book, Kim Vender examines China’s leadership in climate change governance. International climate change negotiations were supposed to achieve an agreement at two summits: in 2009 in Copenhagen and again in 2015 in Paris. China’s part in the negotiations has elicited a narrative of ‘obstructor’ first and ‘climate leader’ later. Vender challenges this view of China and investigates why it is still persisting today despite a steady leadership recognition of China found by a long-term survey of negotiation participants. In its design, the book explores China’s relationship with the main narrators of the story, i.e., powerful industrialised countries, but also with so far under-explored to both scrutinise China’s performance in the climate change negotiations and show how socialisation and the political context have shaped China’s relationship with others. The book furthermore illuminates Chinese understandings of China’s role in climate change as well as contestation of, and support for, an international climate leadership role at home. China and Climate Leadership offers an in-depth exploration of China’s behaviour and motivations, and contributes to the ongoing debate on China’s rise and integration into international society. It will be of interest to both academics and practitioners with an interest in International Relations, role theory and Foreign Policy Analysis, China, and climate change governance.
