Special Issue - Development Practice, Power and Public Authority Drawing upon research across multiple countries, the articles in this special issue explore how public authority dynamics affect development and humanitarian practice. Some focus on places in crisis, others examine everyday governance in more stable contexts. They are complimented by a conceptual framework for analysing how power permeates the foundations of public authority dynamics. Together they illuminate why exclusions, coercion and violence are often used by those claiming the legitimacy to govern. They argue that well-intended interventions or reform efforts must confront a reluctance to acknowledge public authority dynamics in their official depictions of progress, learnings and impacts.

Special Issue - Power Shifts in International Organisations: China at the United Nations The People’s Republic of China is central to current debates about power shifts in international organisations, but a systematic and comprehensive assessment of China-related shifts has been missing. This Special Issue contributes to addressing this gap and examines whether, how and to what extent China-related power shifts have unfolded at the United Nations (UN) over the last two decades or so. It covers empirical insights from the UN’s three main pillars – peace and security, development, and human rights – and paints an uneven picture. Despite continuing Western dominance, China is mobilising more compulsory power than two decades ago. Chinese attempts to enact institutional power have also increased but mostly unfold in multilateral niches and remain cautious. While China’s structural power position has expanded, China-related effects in productive power have so far remained limited and scattered.

Special Issue: Advancing Governance Research: The Quest for a New Generation of Indicators Contributors to this special issue examine governance as the interaction among three dimensions: democratic accountability, state capacity and public goods delivery.

Special Issue - Reflections on the Architecture of Climate Law The articles in this special issue explore the potential for climate law structures that acknowledge the limitations of states to meet their obligations and that more fully integrate scientific evidence. They argue that the aspiration of climate legislation should be achieving positive outcomes, a betterment of the climate conditions for currently disadvantaged and marginalised individuals and communities, and for future generations. And they show why now, more than ever, these prospects must inform scientific research and direct our legal imaginations. The issue is the result of an international conference that was co-convened between the Global Policy Institute (GPI) and the Durham Centre for Sustainable Development Law and Policies (CSDLP).
