The establishment of the International Criminal Court, the growing sophistication of international humanitarian law and the 'rebirth' of the just war tradition over the last fifty years are all taken as signs of this trend. This book argues that, on the contrary, the just war tradition, allied to a historically powerful and increasingly dominant conception of politics in general, is complicit with an expansion of the grounds of supposedly legitimate force, rather than a restriction of it. In offering a critique of this trajectory, 'Just War and International Order' also seeks to illuminate a worrying trend for international order more generally and consider what, if any, alternative there might be to it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49597310042385,"sku":"GOR007528420","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52659839828241,"sku":"NLS9781107644748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52746718544145,"sku":"NIN9781107644748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1107644747.jpg?v=1750886897"},{"product_id":"anti-pelagian-imagination-in-political-theory-and-international-relations-book-nicholas-rengger-9780415704144","title":"The Anti-Pelagian Imagination in Political Theory and International Relations","description":"This volume draws together some of the key works of Nicholas Rengger, focusing on the theme of the 'anti-Pelagian imagination' in political theory and international relations.   Rengger frames the collection with a detailed introduction that sketches out this 'imagination', its origins and character, and puts the chapters that follow into context with the work of other theorists, including Bull, Connolly, Gray, Strauss, Elshtain and Kant. The volume concludes with an epilogue contrasting two different ways of reading this sensibility and offering reasons for supposing one is preferable to the other.  Updating and expanding on ideas from work over the course of the last sixteen years, this collection will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations theory, political thought and political philosophy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52343040213265,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52343040737553,"sku":"NLS9780415704144","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415704144.jpg?v=1758173261"},{"product_id":"evaluating-global-orders-book-nicholas-rengger-9781107602366","title":"Evaluating Global Orders","description":"This volume examines conceptualisations of the hugely contested and contestable field of 'global order'. It looks at the way in which the 'orders' that make up 'the global order' are imagined and evaluated, as well as the manner in which this evaluation takes place. Essays in the book scrutinise varying ways of evaluating and assessing the global orders that characterise contemporary international relations, both as it is conventionally understood (and practised) and as it is variously and differently understood or imagined. These studies offer interesting and provocative 'evaluations' that can spark further reflections and articles in the volume range from reflection on particular aspects of the contemporary global order while others imagine a very different world order. All provoke discussion on how we might evaluate global orders and what it is we do when we think of a global order at all, in any context.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52589269582097,"sku":"NLS9781107602366","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781107602366.jpg?v=1761059722"},{"product_id":"just-war-and-international-order-book-nicholas-rengger-9781107031647","title":"Just War and International Order","description":"At the opening of the twenty-first century, while obviously the world is still struggling with violence and conflict, many commentators argue that there are many reasons for supposing that restrictions on the use of force are growing.
