Invisible Constitution of Politics - Contested Norms and International Encounters

Informationen zum Autor Antje Wiener is Professor of Politics and International Relations in the Department of European Studies and Modern Languages at the University of Bath. Klappentext This book focuses on the contested meanings of norms in a world of increasing international encounters.
