'...a rich selection of essays by a diverse collection of authors engaging with both the depth and breadth of Hans Kochler’s philosophical and legal work on international politics and the possibilities of justice; a very fitting tribute to one of Austria’s great public intellectuals and his global vision.' Simon Dalby, Carleton University, Canada '...speaks to some of the most pressing problems of the post-9/11 world: the place of international law in a world of violence; the meaning of economic justice in a world of globalization; and the need for true dialogue between religious traditions and cultures...fascinating, provocative, and informative, the essays assembled here are an important contribution to the international discussion of these issues.' Cheyney Ryan, University of Oregon, USA
