Classical And Modern Thought On International Relations: From Anarchy To Cosmopolis (PALGRAVE MACMILLAN SERIES ON THE HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL THOUGHT)

In the tradition of the English School of International Relations theory, this project from Robert Jackson seeks to show how continuities in international politics outweigh the changes. The author demonstrates how the world is neither one of anarchy, as put forward by realists, nor is it a fully cosmopolitan order, as argued by those on the other side of the theoretical spectrum. Instead, it is a world of states who acknowledge a set of moral constraints that exists between them.

Jackson (international relations, Boston U.) further refines international theory as he expressed it in The Global Covenant with an interdisciplinary approach, covering international thought, voices of realism such as that of Thrasymachus, the thought of Martin Wright on realism and the good life and the theology of diplomacy, the changing faces of sovereignty, tangles of international obligation, Richard Flak's Grotian moment, jurisprudence for a solidarist world, and lifting the veil of ignorance through John Rales' society of peoples.
