Which political principles should govern global politics? In his new book, Simon Caney engages with the work of philosophers, political theorists, and international relations scholars in order to examine some of the most pressing global issues of our time. Are there universal civil, political, and economic human rights? Should there be a system of supra-state institutions? Can humanitarian intervention be justified?
This book has been part of philosophy courses for many generations in the world so I really think it is powerful because for me it is not only read but studied and in my life has been very useful in many discussions in philosophy and politics.
