"Chris Brown has written the first comprehensive text on
international political theory as an established field of inquiry.
Grounding his discussion on the history of international thought
while avoiding entanglement in abstruse metatheoretical debates, he
treats all the important topics: sovereignty, war, human rights,
humanitarian intervention, global justice, cultural diversity and
globalization. Consistently clear, illuminating, provocative and
entertaining, this book is the best starting place for those who
want to understand the state of international political theorizing
today." Terry Nardin, University of
Wisconsin–Milwaukee
"Chris Brown argues that the importance of international
political theory lies in its concern with the real issues that
affect the lives of ordinary people. Central to this agenda are
questions of sovereignty, rights and justice. The book addresses
these issues in a comprehensive and combative style: this is
vintage Brown." Professor Ken Booth, University of
Wales
"It gives a very interesting and comprehensive introduction to the state of international political theory today ... In addition, Brown has a pleasant and accessible style of writing ... A very good introduction." Acta Politica
