About this book

The history of international thought is a flourishing field, but it has tended to focus on Anglo-American realist and liberal thinkers. This book moves beyond the Anglosphere and beyond realism and liberalism. It analyses the work of thinkers from continental Europe and Asia with radical and reactionary agendas quite different from the mainstream.

Reviews

“It is a fascinating book that challenges our consolidated academic understandings of international theory, uncovering idiosyncratic and contextualised accounts of non-Western, non-Anglophone thinkers during the twentieth century.” (Gillian Davenport, Australian Institute of International Affairs, internationalaffairs.org.au, January, 2018)



“All the chapters are very good and well worth reading. The book has enough substance to serve as a source for many class discussions and will hopefully stimulate more scholarship at a time in which we need more ideas and bigger ideas to avoid the now-visible obstacles that threaten civilization and the hopes for a peaceful future.” (Laurie M. Johnson, The European Legacy, Vol. 23 (1-2), July, 2017)
