Brian (University of Southern California) Rathbun

Opis

Countering the opposing narratives of political amorality and moral progressivism, Rathbun provides a new approach to the place of morality in international politics.

Recenzje

'An interesting contribution to the literature on the role of morality in international politics, arguing that morality is everywhere, even in places where we might least expect it. This book will have wide impact, not only in international relations (IR) theory, but also in political theory, evolutionary ethics, moral psychology, philosophy, and history.' David Traven, Department of Political Science, California State University, Fullerton
