Biography

George Christou is Professor of European Politics and Security at the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick, UK.

Jacob Hasselbalch is Assistant Professor at the Department of Organization, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark.

"This book widens the horizon of international studies by highlighting the rise of networks. This is particularly interesting since in recent years we spoke more about global disorder, witnessing attacks on multilateral organisations and declining resilience to financial crises, but also health emergencies. Reaching out to taxation, science diplomacy as well as anti-crime cooperation, this volume highlights a new dimension, with particular attention to the role and potential of European actors."

László Andor, Secretary General of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies.
