In the preface to the fifth edition, author Maryann Cusimano Love states that "we are in a race between cooperation and catastrophe across a host of global issues. Environmental problems, refugee flows, drug and human trafficking, cyberattacks-all of these issues cross borders faster than sovereign states are able or willing to respond." States cannot solve or manage transsovereign issues alone. The power of the private sector (both legal and illegal, for-profit and nonprofit) is growing, while state power is flat or in some places declining. Global Issues beyond Sovereignty provides a thesis and a common narrative throughout the "issues" chapters. Attempts to manage global issues flow through three channels: public sector responses, private sector responses, and mixed public-private partnerships. All three channels are explored throughout the book, uniting the issues chapters in a common discussion of challenges and responses. The conclusion presents lessons learned for theory and practice from managing global issues.
