Zusatztext 'This is... an important book: a robust defence! by an influential thinker! of an approach to the study of international relations that goes beyond the immediate and the instrumental'. - Ian Hall! International Affairs Informationen zum Autor ROBERT JACKSON is Professor of Political Science at Boston University, USA. He is the Author/Editor of nine books including The Global Covenant: Human Conduct in a World of States (Oxford, 2003), Quasi-States: Sovereignty, International Relations and the Third World (Cambridge, 1991), and Co-author of Introduction to International Relations (Oxford, 2003). Klappentext 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.
