Synopsis

Sovereignty, Rights and Justice surveys the relationship between international relations theory and political theory, showing the way in which these two discourses, once considered separate, are now intertwined. In the first part of the book an historical overview of the international political theory on the Westphalia System is presented, with brief accounts of the law of nations and the notion of an international society, as well as an examination of the international thought of the Enlightenment and of 19th-century industrial society. International theory in the 20th century is then examined, leading into a consideration of some of the key issues of late 20th-century international relations, including: the rights of political communities; the ethics of force in international relations; human rights; humanitarian intervention; global social justice and the moral relevance of borders; and cultural diversity and the Asian values debate. In the final chapters, the impact of globalization on all these issues is examined.
