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.

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, RichardTuck
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.

The Defender of the Peace of Marsilius of Padua is a massively
influential text in the history of western political thought.
Marsilius offers a detailed analysis and explanation of human
political communities, before going on to attack what he sees as
the obstacles to peaceful human coexistence - principally the
contemporary papacy. Annabel Brett's authoritative rendition of the
Defensor Pacis was the first new translation in English for fifty
years, and a major contribution to the series of Cambridge Texts:
all of the usual series features are provided, included chronology,
notes for further reading, and up-to-date annotation aimed at the
student reader encountering this classic of medieval thought for
the first time. 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.
