Understanding Global Social Change
AvMathias Albert,Tobias Werron
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
1 238 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Analysing social change has too often been characterized by parochialism, either a Eurocentrism that projects European experience outwards or a disciplinary narrowness that ignores insights from other academic disciplines. This book moves beyond these limits to develop a global perspective on social change.The book provincializes Europe in order to analyse European modernity as the product of global developments and brings together renowned scholars from international relations, history and sociology in the search for common understandings. In so doing, it provides a range of promising theoretical approaches, analytical takes and substantive research areas that offer new vistas for understanding change on a global scale.

Idea of Civilization and the Making of the Global Order
AvAndrew Linklater
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
1 238 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The idea of civilization recurs frequently in reflections on international politics. However, International Relations academic writings on civilization have failed to acknowledge the major 20th-century analysis that examined the processes through which Europeans came to regard themselves as uniquely civilized – Norbert Elias’s On the Process of Civilization.This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the significance of Elias’s reflections on civilization for International Relations. It explains the working principles of an Eliasian, or process-sociological, approach to civilization and the global order and demonstrates how the interdependencies between state-formation, colonialism and an emergent international society shaped the European 'civilizing process'.

Care and the Pluriverse
Rethinking Global Ethics
AvMaggie FitzGerald
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
1 161 kr
Skickas
A perennial debate in the field of global ethics revolves around the possibility of a universalist ethics as well as arguments over the nature, and significance, of difference for moral deliberation. Decolonial literature, in particular, increasingly signifies a pluriverse – one with radical ontological and epistemological differences. This book examines the concept of the pluriverse alongside global ethics and the ethics of care in order to contemplate new ethical horizons for engaging across difference. Offering a challenge to the current state of the field, this book argues for a rethinking of global ethics as it has been conceived thus far.

Broken Solidarities
How Open Global Governance Divides and Rules
AvFelix Anderl
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
1 013 kr
Skickas
Felix Anderl’s book is a stimulating analysis of the decline of social movements against the World Bank and the rise of a new form of transnational rule.Reflecting on the transnational mobilizations of the 1990s, the book examines activists’ struggles to sustain their momentum. It shows how the opening up of world economic institutions contributed to complex rule in global governance, creating access for some while weakening their critique and fragmenting the overall movement.The book bridges international relations and social movement studies to observe international organizations and social movements in their interaction, demonstrating how social movements are divided and ruled in the absence of a ruler.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This collection brings together leading figures in the study of International Relations to explore praxis as a perspective on international politics and law. With its focus on competent judgements, the praxis approach holds the promise to overcome the divide between knowing and acting that marks positivist International Relations theory.Building on the transdisciplinary work of Friedrich Kratochwil – and with a concluding chapter from him – this book reveals the scope, limits and blind spots of praxis theorizing. For anyone involved in international politics, this is an important contribution to the reconciliation of theory and practice and an inspiration for future research.EPDFs of Chapters 1, 4, 9, 13, 15 and 16 are available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Mind, Action and Strategy in an Uncertain World
AvKarin M. Fierke
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
1 238 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Taking a broadly interdisciplinary approach, this book provides a unique angle on the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for global theory and practice. The book bridges two important debates regarding the relevance of quantum theory to the social sciences, and the pressing need for a more global international relations (IR). It brings the parallels between quantum physics and ancient Asian traditions – Daoism, Buddhism and Hinduism – to an investigation of mind, action and strategy in conditions of radical uncertainty. Engaging with both theory and real-world problems, including climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and economic and racial inequality, this book explores what it might mean to successfully navigate the potentials of a post-pandemic world.

Civil Condition in World Politics
Beyond Tragedy and Utopianism
AvVassilios Paipais
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
1 238 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Bringing together an international team of contributors, this volume draws on international political theory and intellectual history to rethink the problem of a pluralistic world order. Inspired by the work of international political theorist Nicholas Rengger, the book focuses on three main areas of Rengger’s contribution to the political theory of international relations: his Augustine-inspired idea of an ‘Anti-Pelagian Imagination’; his Oakeshottian argument for a pluralist ‘conversation of mankind’; and his ruminations on war as the uncivil condition in world politics. Through a critical engagement with his work, the book illuminates the promises and limitations of civility as a sceptical, non-utopian, anti-perfectionist approach to theorizing world order that transcends both realist pessimism and liberal utopianism.

Beyond the Biopolitics of Development
AvSuvi Alt
Inbunden, Engelska, 2027
1 033 kr
Kommande
This book offers a thoughtful, original critique of how contemporary development practices govern life under global capitalism. Drawing on Heideggerian historical ontology and decolonial thought, it rethinks the foundations of biopolitical critique and explores how development discourse operates in both international policy and resistance movements. It is essential reading for scholars and students of international relations, critical development studies and European political thought seeking new ways to understand, and challenge, the politics of life in the global order.
Exemplarity in Global Politics
AvDorothy Noyes,Tobias Wille
Häftad, Engelska, 2025
366 kr
Skickas
Available open access digitally under CC-BY licence. How is political change claimed and recognized? How is it attached to actors and transferred between them? This volume gives a new account of a mechanism that is celebrated in liberal discourse but trickier in practice: the performance and uptake of examples.Bringing together thinkers from different disciplines and places, this book considers the networks of reception and emulation within which a political act can become an example, circulating beyond the bounds of identities, norms, and ideologies. Tracing short- and long-term interactions among aspirational, dissident, and establishment performances, the volume reveals exemplarity to be a shaping force in global politics.

Reclaiming Utopia in International Relations
Problems and Prospects
AvDaniel R. McCarthy,Matthew Fluck
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 097 kr
Kommande
Bringing together a diverse list of contributors from Europe, Australia, and North America, this book challenges conventional wisdom about utopian thinking in International Relations (IR). The volume demonstrates how utopian thinking has shaped a range of IR theories through its resolutely realistic focus on pressing political crises. This essential collection shows utopia's empirical significance in world politics by offering fresh perspectives on revolutionary movements, racial imaginaries, technocratic expertise, and global climate change, among other issues. It is a vital intervention that reshapes disciplinary understanding and establishes new research directions for scholars examining the pasts and futures of world politics.
