International Society, Global Polity Reviews

Chris Brown brings a wealth of experience and insight to understanding the unsettled surface of modern international relations. The connecting threads of the enterprise are the propositions that we are in transition from making the world intelligible in terms of the idea of the world as an international society, and alternatively as a global polity. The second proposition is that international political theory is applied political philosophy. What this means is that the book is driven by a strong argument which demonstrates the implications of viewing the world from the different perspectives, and a firm grounding in empirical international politics to keep theory securely anchored to the questions that animate the theory and practice of the discipline. -- David Boucher
