About the book:  Ethics is treated in this provocative book not as a set of rules, nor as a topic for philosophical discussion, but as an inescapable and necessary aspect of political life.

The authors analyze the ethical controversies that are central to global governance as states and other actors navigate a complex world order. Covering the gamut of fundamental issues—sovereignty, the role of civil society, UN reform, democracy promotion, humanitarian intervention, human security, the global economy, the environment—they offer the reader a deeper understanding of the significance of ethics in the politics of global governance and at the same time provide a fresh perspective on contemporary dilemmas in international relations.

About the author: Antonio Franceschet is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary, Canada.  He is author of Kant and Liberal Internationalism (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2002) as well as articles on international theory, ethics, and law in Review of International Studies, European Journal of International Relations, Global Governance, Millennium, Journal of Global Ethics, and Alternatives.  He is also Secretary (2008-2010) of the International Ethics Section.
