Introduction to Critical Theory: Horkheimer to Habermas
ISBN: 9780520041752 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 497 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The writings of the critical theorists caught the imagination of students and intellectuals in the 1960s and 1970s. They became a key element in the formation and self-understanding of the New Left, and have been the subject of continuing controversy. Partly because of their rise to prominence during the political turmoil of the sixties, and partly because they draw on traditions rarely studied in the Anglo-American world, the works of these authors are often misunderstood. In this book David Held provides a much-needed introduction to, and evaluation of, critical theory. He is concerned...

Beyond Gridlock
ISBN: 9781509515721 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is now conventional wisdom to see the great policy challenges of the 21st century as inherently transnational. It is equally common to note the failures of the international institutions the world relies on to address such challenges. As the acclaimed 2013 book Gridlock argued, the world increasingly needs effective international cooperation, but multilateralism appears unable to deliver it in the face of deepening interdependence, rising multipolarity, and the growing complexity and fragmentation that characterise the global order. The Gridlock authors have now...It is now conventional wisdom to see the great policy challenges of the 21st century as inherently transnational. It is equally common to note the ... |

Cosmopolitanism: Ideals and Realities
ISBN: 9780745648354 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book sets out the case for a cosmopolitan approach to contemporary global politics. It presents a systematic theory of cosmopolitanism, explicating its core principles and justifications, and examines the role many of these principles have played in the development of global politics, such as framing the human rights regime. The framework is then used to address some of the most pressing issues of our time: the crisis of financial markets, climate change and the fallout from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In each case, Held argues that realistic politics is exhausted, and that...

Introduction to Critical Theory : Horkheimer to Habermas
ISBN: 9780745607696 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.
