Résumé

Over the last decades and especially in the new millennium, global society is increasingly facing new risks and challenges on a global scale, demanding global solutions. With their articles on global risks, the authors have contributed to a topic that suffers from severe under-specification. Their contributions can be summoned up under three headings : Identification and Assessment, Normative Reflections and Alternative Modes of Governance.
Each of the assembled articles shows, from very different academic perspectives, how international actors – states as well as regional and international organisations – deal with global risks that in today's globalised world affect not only one state or region, but the international community as a whole.
Jana Hertwig, LLM, serves as Research Associate at the Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (IFHV), Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Sylvia Maus, LLM, Almut Meyer zu Schwabedissen, MA, and Matthias Schuler, MA, are all researchers and lecturers at the Technische Universität Dresden.
