Opis

This volume uses elements of Arendt's theory to engage with four distinctive political problems connected with contemporary globalization: genocide, global poverty, refugees and the domination of the public realm by neoliberal economic globalization.

Recenzje

'Hayden’s essays provide a highly engaging application of Arendt’s conceptual framework to the problems of world politics, and the book demonstrates what is at stake in thinking through our responsibility for a common world.' - Political Studies Review: 2010, VOL 8, 237

'Hayden’s book, in addition to making a provocative political argument, offers a useful instrument for teaching undergraduates about vital world events and the ways in which political theory can interpret them.' - Perspectives on Politics, Sept 2010, Vol. 8/No. 3, 939
