About this book
Reviews
"This is a varied set of essays, not in quality, which is consistently high, but in the divergent perspectives it presents." - International Affairs
"This volume clarifies and develops the potential of middle ground ethics as an approach to normative problem-solving in world politics that is methodologically distinct from both ideal and non-ideal approaches. Mainly located within the English School, these essays offer novel, critical and constructive contributions to reflecting on and resolving international and global problems of the 21st century." - Catherine Lu, McGill University, Canada
"This is a superb collection. Bringing together leading figures in international political theory and distinctive emerging thinkers, it highlights the potential of 'middle ground' ethics, seeking insight into complexity through enquiry in the interstices between ostensibly irreconcilable ethical traditions. The merits of this approach are richly demonstrated across issues from war
to global order, emerging powers to international law." - John Williams, Durham University, UK"Ethical reasoning is again an important feature of international relations. This book identifies a 'middle ground' with respect to ethical reasoning in international affairs. It builds on the value pluralism of Isaiah Berlin and Hedley Bull: there are conflicts between values and the achievement of the one is often at the expense of the other. How far can 'middle ground'
reasoning take us in today's world of changing power relations and harder times for global liberalism? A prominent list of contributors convincingly demonstrate why this is an extremely clarifying approach. The book will be an indispensable tool for all students of ethics in an international context." - Georg Sørensen, Aarhus University, Denmark
"This fine collection of essays is essential reading on how the tensions between national interests and cosmopolitan ideals - and between clashing valu
e-systems - are played out in the international society of states." - Andrew Linklater, Aberystwyth University, UKEditors and Affiliations
