Book Overview
The Global Covernant is a ground-breaking work by one of the leading scholars in international relations that rejuvenates the classical international society approach, and brings it into contact with the new era of world politics. It investigates the most important international issues of our time, including peace and security, war and intervention, human rights, failed states, territories and boundaries, and democracy. It draws on a family of closely related disciplines: diplomatic and military history, international legal studies, and international political theory. It addresses basic methodological questions and presents the elements of a human sciences approach to the study of world politics. It contemplates the future of international society in the 21st century. The Global Covenant concludes by justifying the pluralist society of sovereign states as one that respects human diversity and upholds human freedom.

Eye-opening view of international relations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book introduced me to a host of new ideas and issues concerning international relations. Easy to read, easy to understand. One of the best books I have read on any issue in the last decade. Every chapter gave me a new and challenging way of looking at the world.
