E. H. Carr is widely remembered as an influential theorist of international relations. The scourge of inter-war idealists, he became the best-known Briton in a generation of predominantly American political realists. But Carr's realism differed greatly from that of his contemporaries: a vigorous advocate of social and economic planning and friend of the Soviet Union, he stood closer to Lenin than to Morgenthau. In this book Charles Jones makes sense of Carr's distinctive form of realism by examining his rhetoric and the reciprocal relationship between theory and policy-making in his writings. Close attention is paid to the period from 1936, when Carr left the Foreign Office, through his subsequent career as a one-man foreign ministry at Aberystwyth, the Ministry of Information, and above all The Times, culminating in the final frustration of his schemes for continued British world power in 1947.

Edmund Burke has long been regarded as one of the most important political thinkers of the late eighteenth century, and his writings and speeches continue to inspire and challenge to the present day. But Burkes thinking on international relations has not been fully addressed by the scholarly community. This situation is ironic given that so much of Burkes political efforts and thoughts were directed at international events and controversies, particularly British policies toward Ireland, America, India, and revolutionary France. David Fidler and Jennifer Welsh provide the first comprehensive presentation of Burkes thinking on international relations in Empire and Community: Edmund Burkes Writings and Speeches on International Relations. They analyze in detail Burkes perspective on international relations developed during his long and distinguished parliamentary career, establishing him as a classical thinker on international relations; they also analyze where Burkes perspective on international relations belongs theoretically in the contemporary study of the subject. These analyses are followed by edited selections from Burkes writings and speeches on Ireland, America, India, and the French Revolution. Empire and Community gives Burkes thinking on international relations the emphasis and scholarly attention it deserves.

This book offers a major new theory of global governance, explaining both its rise and what many see as its current crisis. The author suggests that world politics is now embedded in a normative and institutional structure dominated by hierarchies and power inequalities and therefore inherently creates contestation, resistance, and distributional struggles. Within an ambitious and systematic new conceptual framework, the theory makes four key contributions. Firstly, it reconstructs global governance as a political system which builds on normative principles and reflexive authorities. Second, it identifies the central legitimation problems of the global governance system with a constitutionalist setting in mind. Third, it explains the rise of state and societal contestation by identifying key endogenous dynamics and probing the causal mechanisms that produced them. Finally, it identifies the conditions under which struggles in the global governance system lead to decline or deepening. Rich with propositions, insights, and evidence, the book promises to be the most important and comprehensive theoretical argument about world politics of the 21st century.
