Discussing cutting-edge debates in the field of international
ethics, this key volume builds on existing work in the normative
study of international relations. It responds to a substantial
appetite for scholarship that challenges established approaches and
examines new perspectives on international ethics, and that
appraises the ethical implications of problems occupying students
and scholars of international relations in the twenty-first
century. The contributions, written by a team of international
scholars, provide authoritative surveys and interventions into the
field of international ethics. Focusing on new and emerging ethical
challenges to international relations, and approaching existing
challenges through the lens of new theoretical and methodological
frameworks, the book is structured around five themes: * New
directions in international ethics * Ethical actors and practices
in international relations * The ethics of climate change,
globalization, and health * Technology and ethics in international
relations * The ethics of global security Interdisciplinary in its
scope, this book will be an important resource for scholars and
students in the fields of politics and international relations,
philosophy, law and sociology, and a useful reference for anyone
who wishes to acquire 'ethical competence' in the area of
international relations.

Critical Perspectives on Human Rights provides cutting-edge
interventions into contemporary perspectives on rights, ethics and
global justice. The chapters, written by leading scholars in the
field, make a significant and timely contribution to critical human
rights scholarship by interrogating the significance of human
rights for critical theory and practice. While the contributions
engage sensitively yet thoroughly with the regulatory,
disciplinary, and exclusionary effects of human rights, they do so
without giving up on the transformative potential of human rights.
By thinking productively through the exclusions, paradoxes and
aporias of human rights, Critical Perspectives on Human Rights is a
key reference text for students and scholars in this important area
of inquiry.
Judith Butler can justifiably be described as one of the major
critical thinkers of our time. While she is best-known for her
interventions into feminist debates on gender, sexuality and
feminist politics, her focus in recent years has broadened to
encompass some of the most pertinent topics of interest to
contemporary political philosophy. Drawing on Butler's
deconstructive reading of the key categories and concepts of
political thought, Birgit Schippers expounds and advocates her
challenge to the conceptual binaries that pervade modern political
discourse. Using examples and case studies like the West's
intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in relation to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Schippers demonstrates how Butler's
philosophically informed engagement with pressing political issues
of our time elucidates our understanding of topics such as
immigration and multiculturalism, sovereignty, or the prospect for
new forms of cohabitation and citizenship beyond and across
national boundaries. A detailed exposition and analysis of Butler's
recent ideas, championing her efforts at articulating the
possibilities for radical politics and ethical life in an era of
global interdependence, this book makes an makes an important
contribution to the emerging field of international political
philosophy.

We now live in a pre-crime society, in which information technology
strategies and techniques such as predictive policing, actuarial
justice and surveillance penology are used to achieve
hyper-securitization. However, such securitization comes at a cost
- the criminalization of everyday life is guaranteed, justice
functions as an algorithmic industry and punishment is administered
through dataveillance regimes. This pioneering book explores
relevant theories, developing technologies and institutional
practices and explains how the pre-crime society operates in the
'ultramodern' age of digital reality construction. Reviewing
pre-crime's cultural and political effects, the authors propose new
directions in crime control policy.

This book appraises the relationship between contemporary feminism
and Julia Kristeva, a major figure in Continental thought. It
addresses the conflicting range of feminist responses to Kristeva's
key ideas and Kristeva's equally conflicting as well as ambiguous
position vis-a-vis feminism.
Schippers argues that this complex relationship can only be
understood by positioning Kristeva along the fissures and fault
lines which run through feminism. By attending to feminism's
internal debates and disputes, and addressing the philosophical
commitments and attachments held by Kristeva's critics, the book
clarifies the diverse Kristeva reception within feminism and
illuminates how her ideas trouble contemporary feminist
thought.
And despite Kristeva's fundamental ambiguity towards all matters
feminist, Schippers makes a case for Kristeva's important
contribution to a feminist project which is sympathetic towards her
account of fluid subjectivity and her critique of identity
politics. In doing so, the author advances the scholarly
understanding of Kristeva and of contemporary feminist thought.
