Opis

Ethics and International Relations introduces students to the key debates about ethics in international relations theory. It surveys and explains the ethical debate between cosmopolitans, communitarians and realists which have dominated work in this area. At the same time, it advances a new and distinctive approach to theorising international relations generally and understanding universality specifically.
