(EDT), ISBN 140513531X, ISBN-13 9781405135313, Brand New, Free shipping in the US American philosopher John Rawls (1) presented his thoughts on international relations in The Law of Peoples, basing the work on principles he originally articulated in his A Theory of Justice. This work is the result of two conferences organized to debate Rawls' ideas on international affairs, one for the World Congress of the International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Policy, held in Sweden in 2003, and the other for the Conference of Global Justice held in conjunction with the American Philosophical Association, held in the US in 2004. Martin (philosophy, Cardiff U., UK) and Reidy (philosophy, U. of Tennessee, US) present all of the papers from these conferences as well as some recent additions. They have organized the contributions into sections separately addressing the background and structure of The Law of Peoples; questions of cosmopolitanism, nationalism, and universalism; human rights; global economic justice; and the nature of liberal democratic foreign policy.
