Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"One of the best reviews of the origins and underpinnings of the modern interstate Westphalian system in print. An essential book for understanding the current international system and the challenges posed to it by liberals, human rights advocates, and promoters of globalization-a timely and important contribution to international relations theory." - John Vasquez, Professor of Political Science, Vanderbilt University "Kegley and Raymond provide us with an original and persuasive interpretation of the Westphalian role in the birth process of the modern state system. What is most valuable is their critical rejection of Westphalia as a vindication of power politics, and their advocacy of a morally conditioned form of global governance for the twenty-first century. An excellent book that deserves the widest possible audience." - Richard A. Falk, Albert G. Milbank Professor of International Law and Practice, Princeton University "One of the best reviews of the origins and underpinnings of the modern interstate Westphalian system in print.
