History, Politics, Law - Thinking through the International (Hardcover): Annabel Brett, Megan Donaldson, Martti Koskenniemi History, Politics, Law - Thinking through the International (Hardcover)
Annabel Brett, Megan Donaldson, Martti Koskenniemi
R3,143 Discovery Miles 31 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Historians of political thought and international lawyers have both expanded their interest in the formation of the present global order. History, Politics, Law is the first express encounter between the two disciplines, juxtaposing their perspectives on questions of method and substance. The essays throw light on their approaches to the role of politics and the political in the history of the world beyond the single polity. They discuss the contrast between practice and theory as well as the role of conceptual and contextual analyses in both fields. Specific themes raised for both disciplines include statehood, empires and the role of international institutions, as well as the roles of economics, innovation and gender. The result is a vibrant cross-section of contrasts and parallels between the methods and practices of the two disciplines, demonstrating the many ways in which both can learn from each other.

Rethinking The Foundations of Modern Political Thought (Paperback): Annabel Brett, James Tully Rethinking The Foundations of Modern Political Thought (Paperback)
Annabel Brett, James Tully; As told to Holly Hamilton-Bleakley
R798 Discovery Miles 7 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Quentin Skinner's classic study The Foundations of Modern Political Thought was first published by Cambridge in 1978. This was the first of a series of outstanding publications that have changed forever the way the history of political thought is taught and practised. Rethinking the Foundations of Modern Political Thought looks afresh at the impact of the original work, asks why it still matters, and considers a number of significant agendas that it still inspires. A very distinguished international team of contributors has been assembled, including John Pocock, Richard Tuck and David Armitage, and the result is an unusually powerful and cohesive contribution to the history of ideas, of interest to large numbers of students of early modern history and political thought. In conclusion, Skinner replies to each chapter and presents his own thoughts on the latest trends and the future direction of the history of political thought.

This edition of The Defender of the Peace is a scholarly and a pedagogic event of great importance, of interest to historians, political theorists, theologians and philosophers at all levels from second-year undergraduate upwards.
