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.
Very useful introduction to IPT for students without prior knowledge
This is a very helpful text for those students accessing this interdisciplinary course who have not previously studied international relations
Too theoretically driven, which does not exactly match the more empirical focus of the module.
The book touches upon the key challenges for pursuing a more just international society. It is written in a clear fashion and makes reading of very complex problems extremely inspiring. The theoretical arguments are well grounded on both historical and up-to-date empirical evidence. It offers arguments with relevant foreign policy implications.
Used by some students, however they considered the book a heavy reading next to other class assignments. Therefore I have decided to recommend the book in the course manual, but not mandatory reading
