Mervyn Frost Livres

Focusing on the interplay between global civil society and democratic states, the book emphasizes the critical role of individual human rights in understanding contemporary world politics. It argues that a comprehensive grasp of issues like globalization and new wars is impossible without recognizing the importance of human rights. By positioning human rights at the center of international relations, it seeks to provide deeper insights into the dynamics shaping the global landscape today.

Focusing on the marginalization of ethics in international relations, Mervyn Frost critically evaluates the existing ethical theories within the discipline. He explores the implications of overlooking ethical considerations and seeks to highlight the importance of integrating ethical frameworks into the study of international relations, offering a thought-provoking analysis that challenges conventional perspectives.

Lechner and Frost provide a new philosophical analysis of social practices in order to illuminate major issues in international relations. Following in the footsteps of Oakeshott, Wittgenstein and Hegel, this book forms an important contribution to international relations, philosophy and the social sciences.

Exploring the intersection of ethics and global politics, the book presents a compelling argument for understanding international relations through an ethical lens. Through detailed case studies on significant issues such as the Iraq war, the war on terror, and migration, Mervyn Frost challenges readers to engage with their roles as ethical citizens in a complex global society. The work encourages a deeper reflection on the moral implications of political actions and decisions in today's world.
