Opis

This is the first monograph that makes Hans-Georg Gadamer’s and Paul Ricœur’s hermeneutic philosophy relevant for global politics research. The book draws on the concept of ‘horizon’ as the element that captures the dynamics of understanding in social interaction in order to analyse processes of international politics.
