About this book

Risse takes a refreshingly different approach to understanding the important and topical debates in the subject through the lens of issues of global reach such as justice, human rights, fair trade and immigration, focusing on normative questions that arise about globalization.

Reviews

'Risse introduces the important debates in global political philosophy with great clarity and insight. He covers a wide range of issues (human rights, global distributive justice, the environment, immigration, trade), and gracefully defends his own theory of pluralist internationalism while giving charitable consideration to other approaches. This is a terrific introduction to the topic.' - Anna Stilz, Princeton University, USA
