The need to control violent and non-violent harm has been central
to human existence since societies first emerged. This book
analyses the problem of harm in world politics which stems from the
fact that societies require the power to harm in order to defend
themselves from internal and external threats, but must also
control the capacity to harm so that people cannot kill, injure,
humiliate or exploit others as they please. Andrew Linklater
analyses writings in moral and legal philosophy that define and
classify forms of harm, and discusses the ways in which different
theories of international relations suggest the power to harm can
be controlled so that societies can co-exist with the minimum of
violent and non-violent harm. Linklater argues for new connections
between the English School study of international society and
Norbert Elias' analysis of civilizing processes in order to advance
the study of harm in world politics.
