Hiski Haukkala - Trust in International Relations: Rationalist, Constructivist, and Psychological Approaches

This is an excellent book, tackling one of the fundamental concepts in International Relations and providing a timely and valuable exploration of the three different approaches to trust through fascinating and empirically rich case studies. It will be valuable for students and professionals alike.

This book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on trust in international relations. Using the three main approaches to the study of trust, the collection is particularly valuable for the individual case studies. These range widely and cover an amazing variety of relationships between states and international organizations.

This book provides a timely intervention into the research on trust and trust-building in international politics. It not only demonstrates the applicability of the concept, but brings together a novel series of case studies that help to enlighten previously unconsidered relationships and broaden our understanding about how scholars can operationalize trust in international politics.

Vincent Keating, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science and Public Management, University of Southern Denmark

Trust is a core concept in International Relations (IR), representing a key ingredient in state relations. It was only relatively recently that IR scholars began to probe what trust really is, how it can be studied, and how it affects state relations. In the process three distinct ways of theorising trust in IR have emerged: trust as a rational choice calculation, as a social phenomenon or as a psychological dimension. Trust in International Relations explores trust through these different lenses using case studies to analyse the relative strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. The case studies cover relations between:

United States and India

ASEAN and Southeast Asian countries

Finland and Sweden

USA and Egypt

The European Union and Russia

Turkeys relations with the West

This book provides insights with real-world relevance in the fields of crisis and conflict management, and will be of great interest for students and scholars of IR, security studies and development studies who are looking to develop a more sophisticated understanding of how different theories of trust can be used in different situations.

Routledge Global Cooperation Series

This series develops innovative approaches to understanding, explaining and answering one of the most pressing questions of our time how can cooperation in a culturally diverse world of nine billion people succeed?

We are rapidly approaching our planets limits, with trends such as advancing climate change and the destruction of biological diversity jeopardising our natural life support systems. Accelerated globalisation processes lead to an ever growing interconnectedness of markets, states, societies, and individuals. Many of todays problems cannot be solved by nation states alone. Intensified cooperation at the local, national, international, and global level is needed to tackle current and looming global crises.

Tobias Debiel, Claus Leggewie and Dirk Messner are Co-Directors of the Kte Hamburger Kolleg/Centre for Global Cooperation Research, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. Their research areas are, among others, Global Governance, Climate Change, Peacebuilding and Cultural Diversity of Global Citizenship. The three Co-Directors are, at the same time, based in their home institutions, which participate in the Centre, namely the German Development Institute/Deutsches Institut fr Entwicklungspolitik (DIE, Messner) in Bonn, the Institute for Development and Peace (INEF, Debiel) in Duisburg and the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (KWI, Leggewie) in Essen.
