The sovereign state created at the onset of modernity can no longer protect us nor future generations from nuclear war and the effects of global warming.

Politics is not simply a moral matter, nor political philosophy a subdivision of moral philosophy. This book is devised as a basic conceptual lexicon for all those who want to understand what politics is, how it works and how it...
