Christianity and Power Politics Today: Christian Realism and Contemporary Political Dilemmas
Автор:Eric Patterson Год: 2008 Издание:Palgrave Macmillan Страниц: 196 ISBN: 0230602649 As per the reviewer, this is a highly important work, addressing a critical gap in the literature on both international relations theory and ethics in international relations. The realist themes of power and conflict both garner timeless, ongoing attention in international politics. The reviewer suggests it will have a wide readership, in undergraduate college and university courses, in the religious communities attuned to public affairs, and among the broader public. This volume aims to reconstruct and debate a contemporary Christian realist framework, while also applying such a perspective to the issues of contemporary politics such as the Bush Doctrine, the laws of war, democracy and democratization, U.S. participation in international institutions, and apocalyptic terrorism.
