Practical Judgement in
International Political
Theory
Selected Essays
Chris Brown, London School of Economics, UK
’Chris Brown is what many
scholars wish to be - a writer
whose lucid expositions
never fail to engage,
challenge, and enlighten. For
thoughtful students of
international affairs, these
essays are an education in
the subject at its selfreflective
best.’ - Terry Nardin,
National University of Singapore
’I urge every student of
international relations and
political thought to read this book. You will find
yourself on an amazing journey through the
essential currents of contemporary intellectual
history. Chris Brown is an incomparable guide. He
shows us his subject in all of its magnificent scope.
His clarity, discernment and charming wit carry you
lightly through even the heaviest of arguments. It
is a rare collection of essays that can re-cast an
entire genre of literature. This volume does so. Like
all great essayists, Chris Brown gives us ideas,
characters and stories that delight and instruct.’
- Joel H. Rosenthal, Carnegie Council for Ethics in
International Affairs
‘This is an invaluable volume. Each essay is
immensely insightful, unfailingly engaging, and
boldly provocative. Moreover, the collection as a
whole maps the evolution in thinking of an
eminently important scholar who has done no less
than pioneer the field of study variously known as
a ‘international political theory’, ‘normative
international relations (IR) theory’ and
‘international ethics.’’ - Toni Erskine, Aberystwyth
University, UK

Religion, Politics and
International Relations
Selected Essays
Jeff Haynes, London Metropolitan University, UK
Series: Routledge Studies in Religion and Politics
A leading authority in the
discipline, Jeffrey Haynes has
contributed to many of the
most significant debates in the
fields of religion & politics and
religion & international relations
in the last twenty years. This
book brings together many of
his most influential essays,
offering a comprehensive
analysis of religious actors and
their political goals.
In recent years, scholars have
identified a range of religious actors with a variety of
political goals. The aim of this collection is to identify
and examine political activities of selected religious
actors in both domestic and international contexts. The
introductory chapter sets the scene for the collection,
providing a clear understanding of why, how and when
religious actors act politically both within and between
countries. Over the course of 15 essays, Jeffrey Haynes
presents a survey of the interaction of religion and
politics, both domestically and internationally, in relation
to a variety of issues, and draws the findings together in
a new conclusion written for the volume.
This work will be of great interest to the growing
number of scholars and students and practitioners
internationally who work on religion and politics, in both
domestic and international contexts.
