Sophisticated and incisive, this book provides a detailed diagnosis of the present impasse of international law and relations, particularly since the Iraq invasion and occupation. Drawing on critical philosophical and political methodology, Bowring explores: the paradoxes of the simultaneous revival of liberal-Kantian conceptions of international law; the unexpected collapse of the USSR; and, the rise of ethno-nationalism. Arguing for a 'revolutionary conservatism' and a substantive account of human rights, this book is a key resource for academics, students and others with interests in human rights and international law.Bowring, Bill is the author of 'Degradation of the International Legal Order? the Rehabilitation of Law and the Possibility of Politics', published 2007 under ISBN 9781904385998 and ISBN 1904385990.
