Von der hinteren Coverseite

"Ralph Pettman, long one of the most eloquent and open-minded of that small band of scholars who have insisted that there must be some other way of thinking about international relations, explores a rich vein of neglected possibilities. This provides an effective context in which to contrast a range of more "spiritual" possibilities, which Pettman sketches with his usual economy, elegance and wit. The result is an engaging account of world affairs as a renewed process of "global learning," an account that offers much needed relief from all those embarrassingly righteous stories about the end of history and the clash of civilizations."--R.B.J. Walker, Professor of International Relations, University of Keele, UK, and Professor of Political Science, University of Victoria, Canada
