› Find signed collectible books: 'America's War on Terror'
9/11 has become more than a date. It has become a noun, an idea shaped and moulded by the media and the American political establishment and the rationale for the subsequent "War on Terror". But what are the real factors that have motivated the world's sole remaining superpower to engage in a permanent war declared on an often elusive and abstract enemy and risk the very relationships that have augmented that global status? While the tragic events of the 11th of September 2001 caused a sea-change in the perception and realities of American security interests and its ability to project a foreign policy agenda, simplistic views that the resulting "War on Terror" is merely "reactionary warfaring" no longer carry any credibility. To fully understand the direction of contemporary US foreign policy requires a detailed understanding of the complex political, historical and personal processes which influence America's new sense of itself and its view of the world. Written by a collection of leading analysts in the field, "America's War on Terror" sheds new light on the causes of the war on terror, the domestic and foreign policy implications and the forthcoming challenges for the United States and the global community.

Ethics has increasingly been studied as a specific field within the academic subject of International Relations (IR). While the idea that ethics is distinct from politics (whether domestic or international) it certainly would have been foreign to those writing on topics such as war, peace, rights and trade up until the twentieth century. The 1990s and 2000s have seen a substantial growth of attention to the ways in which IR conceives and analyses themes of an ethical nature, and how issues, problems and policies involving ethics are addressed by a variety of actors within the international system. Consequently, although recent attention to such matters has a long historical pedigree, the burgeoning recognition of ethics and international relations as a distinct and substantive field is a significant development in its own right. This volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for an international readership consisting of scholars, policymakers, students, and members of the general public with an interst in the ethical dimensions of international affairs. This volume includes an Introduction followed by 27 chapters grouped into the following five parts: Part I deals with traditions of international ethics and major normative and political perspectives on the role, evolution, and significance of ethics within international affairs; Part II explores ethical thinking in regard to the key problems of war, conflict, violence, and peace within the international system; Part III is focused on the central role of human theory and practice within the contemporary international system, and on current debates about the nature, scope, and justification of human rights; Part IV addresses a variety of normative arguments, judgments, and assessments focused on questions of justice and specific issue areas within international affairs; and, Part V examines how the dynamics and processes of globalization raise new challenges to thinking about ethics beyond the traditional state-oriented international system. This indispensable collection widens the perspective from 'ethics and international relations' to 'ethics in international relations' redressing the (mis)perception that ethical concepts, principles, norms and rules are in part constitutive of the international system and the agents acting within that system. Necessarily cross-disciplinary, expertise is drawn beyond IR narrowly conceived to include philosophy, political theory, religious studies, history and law making this an ideal volume for any library reference collection.

› Find signed collectible books: 'John Rawls : Towards a Just World Order'
John Rawls: Towards a Just World Order is a concise and detailed analysis of one of the foremost political philosophers of our time that demonstrates the importance of Rawls's work for contemporary debates regarding international relations, world politics and human rights. Since the publication of A Theory of Justice (1971), John Rawls has been viewed as one of the most important political theorists of the twentieth century. In John Rawls: Towards a Just World Order, Patrick Hayden discusses Rawls's views regarding the nature of social justice among states. He examines Rawls's most important writings in order to assess how adequately his theory of justice is able to accommodate claims to universal human rights and shows how Rawls's work can contribute to the construction of a cosmopolitan approach to issues of international justice. Beginning with Rawls's attempt to develop an account of international justice and human rights that is consistent with his earlier theory of justice as fairness, Hayden then offers a critical examination of Rawls's political philosophy and international thought which argues for a cosmopolitan variation on Rawls's 'law of peoples'.

Published in 1859, John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" presented one of the most eloquent defenses of individual freedom in nineteenth-century social and political philosophy and is today perhaps the most widely-read liberal argument in support of the value of liberty. Mill's passionate advocacy of spontaneity, individuality and diversity, along with his contempt for compulsory uniformity and the despotism of popular opinion, has attracted both admiration and condemnation.
