International Society and Its Critics [Paperback]

In this major new work, leading scholars come together to evaluate the influential International Society approach to contemporary world politics.

This International Society approach offers one of the most illuminating ways of understanding the major issues of our day, such as terrorism, global governance, and the role of international law.
