At Home in the World
"The 9/11 tragedy. The War on Terror. The attack on Iraq. World affairs are tangled and uncertain. If Canada is to move forward, we have to make choices that acknowledge a global future.
The Return of History
#1 National Bestseller In 1989, as the Berlin Wall crumbled and the Cold War dissipated, the American political commentator Francis Fukuyama wrote a famous essay, entitled "The End of History." Fukuyama argued that the demise of confrontation between Communism and capitalism, and the expansion of Western liberal democracy, signalled the endpoint of humanity's sociocultural and political evolution, the waning of traditional power politics, and the path toward a more peaceful world. At the heart of his thesis was the audaciously optimistic idea of "progress" in history. But a quarter of a century after Fukuyama's bold prediction about transcending the struggles of the past, history has returne...
Humanitarian Intervention and International Relations
The issue of humanitarian intervention has generated one of the most heated debates in international relations since 1990 - among both theorists and practitioners. This volume investigates the controversial place of humanitarian intervention in the theory and practice of international relations.
The Responsibility to Prevent
Examines ways to operationalize the responsibility to prevent genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing. Develops a strategic framework to identify the appropriate scope and substance of preventive dimensions and the tools that can be used to prevent escalation such as sanctions, mediation, international criminal justice, and military intervention.
The Oxford Handbook of International Security
"Future-oriented questions are woven through the study and practice of international security. The 48 essays collected in this Handbook use such questions to provide a tour of the most innovative and exciting new areas of research as well as major developments in established lines of inquiry. The results of their efforts are: the definitive statement of the state of international security and the academic field of security studies, a comprehensive portrait of expert assessments of expected developments in international security at the onset of the twenty-first century's second decade, and a crucial staging ground for future research agendas." --Descripción del editor.
The Cult of St. Anne in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
Dr Jennifer Welsh received her M.A. in Medieval Studies from Cornell University in 2000, and her M.A. and PhD in History from Duke University in 2004 and 2009. Her dissertation dealt with the cult of St. Anne in late medieval and early modern Europe.

This is her first book.
Edmund Burke and International Relations
The mind of Edmund Burke has attracted the attention of countless political theorists, historians, and biographers. Nonetheless, one aspect of Burke's thinking has been neglected: his perspective on international relations. This book seeks to address that gap, by analysing Burke's reaction to the international events of his century. The book argues that the tension between Burke's constitutionalism and crusading is ultimately reconciled by his broader conception of international legitimacy and order. It is only by widening the definition of international theory to include domestic as well as international politics that one can resolve this tension in Burke's theory and arrive at a richer understanding of the nature of international order, both historically and today.
Just and Unjust Military Intervention
Leading scholars explore how the arguments of classical European thinkers relate to the ethics and politics of military intervention today.
The New Twenty Years' Crisis
The liberal order is decaying. Will it survive, and if not, what will replace it? On the eightieth anniversary of the publication of E.H. Carr's The Twenty Years' Crisis, 1919-1939, Philip Cunliffe revisits this classic text, juxtaposing its claims with contemporary debates on the rise and fall of the liberal international order. The New Twenty Years' Crisis reveals that the liberal international order experienced a twenty-year cycle of decline from 1999 to 2019. In contrast to claims that the order has been undermined by authoritarian challengers, Cunliffe argues that the primary drivers of the crisis are internal. He shows that the heavily ideological international relations theory that ha...
The United Nations Security Council and War
This is the first major exploration of the United Nations Security Council's part in addressing the problem of war, both civil and international, since 1945. Both during and after the Cold War the Council has acted in a limited and selective manner, and its work has sometimes resulted in failure. It has not been - and was never equipped to be - the centre of a comprehensive system of collective security. However, it remains the body charged with primary responsibility for international peace and security. It offers unique opportunities for international consultation and military collaboration, and for developing legal and normative frameworks. It has played a part in the reduction in the inc...
