Recenzje

'A lucid, comprehensive analysis of normative approaches to

international relations, and an original contribution to critical theory' - Andrew Linklater, University of Keele

`Hutchings combines a valuable account of the current state of the art with

a lucid expositon of her own, highly distinctive, position. This will be

required reading for students in international political theory, and indeed anyone interested in normative issues in international relations' - Chris Brown, London School of Economics and Political Science
