Contested Narratives of Global Modernity and World Order

Today, of course, this universalistic narrative rings hollow. The global distribution of power has ... Read more

Republican Security Theory from the Polis to the Global Village

by Daniel H. Deudney ...

Realism, the dominant theory of international relations, particularly regarding security, seems compelling in part because of its claim to embody so much of Western political thought from the ancient Greeks to the present. Its main challenger, liberalism, looks to Kant and nineteenth-century economists. Despite their many insights, neither realism nor liberalism gives us adequate tools to grapple ... Read more

This book argues that we can detach Marx the critic of current ... Read more
