Men and Citizens in the Theory of International Relations (Paperback, 2 Revised Edition)

This book deals with the tension between the obligations of citizenship and the obligations of humanity in modern theories of the state and international relations. It contains an historical overview of the way in which the relationship beween citizenship and humanity has been conceived in political theory since the 17th century. Drawing upon the German idea of freedom developed in the writings of Kant, Hegel and Marx, this book argues for the primacy of obligations to the human race.;A postscript to this new edition provides a commentary on the writings of Habermas and Foucault. The line of argument developed in the first edition is reconsidered in the light of the current debate between critical theorists and anti-foundationalists. The case for a critical sociology of moral boundaries in international relations is presented in the final sections of the book.;Andrew Linklater is also author of "Beyond Realism and Marxism: Critical Theory and International Relationships" and "New Dimensions in World Politics".
