Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book addresses the possibilities of analyzing the modern
international through the thought of Michel Foucault. The broad
range of authors brought together in this volume question four of
the most self-evident characteristics of our contemporary
world-'international', 'neoliberal', 'biopolitical' and 'global'-
and thus fill significant gaps in both international and Foucault
studies. The chapters discuss what a Foucauldian perspective does
or does not offer for understanding international phenomena while
also questioning many appropriations of Foucault's work. This
transdisciplinary volume will serve as a reference for both
scholars and students of international relations, international
political sociology, international political economy, political
theory/philosophy and critical theory more generally.
By walking, you escape from the very idea of identity, the
temptation to be someone, to have a name and a history ... The
freedom in walking lies in not being anyone; for the walking body
has no history, it is just an eddy in the stream of immemorial
life. In A Philosophy of Walking, a bestseller in France, leading
thinker Frédéric Gros charts the many different ways we get from
A to B-the pilgrimage, the promenade, the protest march, the nature
ramble-and reveals what they say about us. Gros draws attention to
other thinkers who also saw walking as something central to their
practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreau's eager seclusion in
Walden Woods; the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while Nerval
rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked in
order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write.
In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly
at the same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant
and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and
insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other.
