Andrew Linklater – författare

In an original synthesis of recent developments in social and political theory, The Transformation of Political Community argues for new forms of political community which are cosmopolitan, sensitive to cultural differences and committed to reducing material inequalities. The book provides a bold account of post-Westphalian societies and the ethical principles which should inform their external relations. Linklater argues for political communities in which human relations are governed by dialogue and consent rather than power and force.

The Transformation of Political Community will be of interest to students and academics in international relations, politics and sociology.

New Dimensions of World Politics (1975) examines the changes to world politics as bankers, industrialists and scientists have taken more influence over world affairs from diplomats and soldiers. The content of ‘high politics’ has expanded from the security realm to include not only monetary, trade and aid matters but also the management of natural resources. There are more state actors, and more multinational corporations vying for the lead in influence.

Political Loyalty and the Nation-State examines the gradual weakening of the state''s ability to order the political allegiances of its subjects. At the focal centre of the book lies the question of the extent to which it is possible to invest political principles, such as the rules and procedures of democracy, with a sentiment of loyalty and whether political loyalty can become merely a matter of choice and personal responsibility. The authors consider theoretical issues, problems of loyalty arising from population movement and case studies of conflicts of loyalty from Italy, Northern Ireland, and Russia. It is shown that loyalty can become decoupled from state, territory and nation; that loyalties can be multiple; and that today''s loyalties reflect advanced attitudes towards difference.
