Neal Riemer's new book explores a vital, but surprisingly neglected
theme. Riemer first examines two great historical breakthroughs: to
religious liberty, and to the American federal republic. He then
contrasts these genuine breakthroughs to two spurious ones:
Calhoun's theory of the concurrent majority and Marx's theory of
universal human emancipation. Riemer also examines a contemporary
breakthrough to European Union to underscore the sense of
continuing to deal with major problems that the conventional wisdom
has deemed incapable of solution. Finally, he addresses a future
breakthrough to protect against genocide via a global human rights
regime employing policies of prudent prevention, effective
implementation, and just humanitarian intercession. This book seeks
to move political science beyond Cold War mentality and practice, a
narrow-minded political realism, and post-modernism's nihilism
toward a more prophetic politics. Riemer's latest book will be of
crucial importance to scholars and students in all areas of
political science, political philosophy, human rights, and
international relations.
