Richard Beardsworth is a leading figure in Political Philosophy.
He focuses his study on three main IR schools: mainstream Realism, Marxism and critical International Political Economy, and the emerging body of IR postmodern thought.
He also maintains the importance of the cosmopolitan outlook for the future of IR theory and suggests research agendas that may redress present weaknesses.
This has a wide focus and has adoption potential for courses in liberalism, globalization, global ethics and its discontents, and cosmopolitanism.
