It explores questions that pertain to human rights, morality, and ethics, and generally an outlook for devising a ‘better’ world. The project is ideal for audiences with interest in International Relations, Ethics and Morality Studies and International Political Theory.  Review “This superb collection of essays is as provocative, challenging, and insightful as the pioneering scholar of International Political Theory (IPT) in whose honour it was written.  Like Chris Brown's work itself, this volume is essential reading for anyone hoping to understand the nuanced, evolving, and, at its best, deeply practical field of IPT.” (Toni Erskine, Professor of International Politics & Associate Head (Research), School of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Canberra, Australia) From the Back Cover This book assesses the impact of the work of Chris Brown in the field of International Political Theory.
