Recenzje

'Contributors to this outstanding collection of essays were asked to respond to the often-repeated criticism that constructivists travel light when it comes to ethical commitments. This charge may have been sustainable previously; it is certainly not now. Moral Limit and Possibility in World Politics makes an extremely persuasive case for constructivism's contribution to normative theorising. The editor, in particular, is to be commended for rolling out a set of inter-related themes which give the book a unity and coherence seldom found in edited collections.' Tim Dunne, Professor of International Relations, University of Exeter
