'Phillip Y. Lipscy shows, using rationalist theory, that variation
in competition among international institutions explains variation
in their willingness to undergo fundamental institutional change.
Renegotiating the World Order is a theoretically innovative and
empirically impressive book on an important topic.' Robert O.
Keohane, Princeton University, New Jersey
'Why is it that some international institutional arrangements
respond in flexible ways to changes in the distribution of power
whereas others do not? Lipscy offers an original and persuasive
answer to this question that troubles both policymakers and
theorists. This book is a must read for anyone interested in
understanding the past and future of international organizations.'
Eric Voeten, Georgetown University, Washington DC
'How will rising states such at Brazil, China, and India seek to
reshape the global order? Will they be responsible stakeholders
working within the existing Western-led order, or will they be
revisionists seeking to overturn it? … Lipscy provides the most
elegant and systematic explanation yet for these diverse and
shifting choices.' G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs
'Lipscy's book provides well-written historical accounts with a
compelling theory that provides both an academic case as well as
fruitful insight for policy-makers.' Felicity Vabulas, Review of
International Organizations
