'This is an excellent volume, with many chapters written with passion and verve, offering a broad range of new insights into the complexities and nuances of the policies and practices of rising powers within global governance structures. It is clear, from this collection, however, that the prevailing approach maintains the status quo with a focus on inclusion rather than revision. As such, this volume provides a thorough overview of the difficulties and tensions of fundamentally altering global governance structures and cautions against the narrative that the inclusion of rising powers equates to increased freedoms and social justice.'
