Kimberly Hutchings Knihy

The first book to accessibly outline the major debates on violence in political theory--

This revised edition of Kimberly Hutchings s best-selling textbook provides an accessible introduction to the field of Global Ethics for students of politics, international relations and globalization.

The book presents a critical evaluation of the assumptions surrounding time in world politics theories, introducing a novel framework for understanding the contemporary dynamics of global affairs. It aims to reshape how scholars and practitioners perceive the 'present' in the context of international relations, providing insights that challenge traditional perspectives.

Hegel and Feminist Philosophy traces the legacy of Hegel in the work of thinkers such as de Beauvoir, Irigaray and Butler, and also in contemporary debates in feminist ethics and political philosophy. As Hutchings demonstrates, this is an ambivalent legacy.

In this book, Elizabeth Frazer and Kimberly Hutchings ask whether the use of violence can ever be justified in politics. Using examples from contemporary politics and political thought, they carefully explore the various justificatory strategies that have been deployed, and conclude that all attempts to justify political violence invariably fail--

The book offers a clear and thorough examination of normative theories in international relations, providing fresh insights into critical theory. It engages with various perspectives, enhancing the understanding of ethical considerations in global politics. Through its analytical framework, the work challenges traditional views and encourages a deeper discourse on the moral implications of international interactions.

Pre-financial crisis, EU citizens were 'overlooking' Europe ignoring it in favour of globalisation, economic flows, and crises of political corruption. Innovative focus group methods allow an analysis of citizens' reactions, and demonstrate how euroscepticism is a red herring, instead articulating an indifference to and ambivalence about Europe.

Although Hegel and feminism seem an unlikely couple, Hegelian philosophy played a prominent part in the thinking of groundbreaking feminist philosophers from Simone de Beauvoir to Luce Irigaray. This book offers a new generation of feminist readings of Hegel from leading scholars in the both fields. Through close readings and innovative arguments, this book makes a significant contribution to the debate on gender and provides insight into philosophical method.
