Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

'This is the first comprehensive study of how different ethical traditions deal with the central moral problems of international affairs.'

Review:

"[T]his well-conceived and beautifully edited book is a valuable contribution....[C]hapters on each of 12 'traditions'...all give students a clear introduction to the particular philosophy and then show how it has resulted in certain conclusions about international ethics." Mary Maxwell, Journal of Politics"The thirteen authors, two editors, and Cambridge University Press should be exceedingly proud of this study." Ethics"Traditions of International Ethics...greatly helps clarify what international ethics might be, or more precisely, the traditions from which such ethics might be derived....well written, relatively jargon-free, and accessible to the nonspecialist. Its value as an introduction to the subject is enhanced by the brief bibliographic essays at the end of each chapter." Patrick Callahan, Journal of Politics
