The Global Covernant is a ground-breaking work by one of the leading scholars in international relations that rejuvenates the classical international society approach, and brings it into contact with the new era of world politics. It investigates the most important international issues of our time, including peace and security, war and intervention, human rights, failed states, territories and boundaries, and democracy. It draws on a family of closely related disciplines: diplomatic and military history, international legal studies, and international political theory. It addresses basic methodological questions and presents the elements of a human sciences approach to the study of world politics. It contemplates the future of international society in the 21st century. The Global Covenant concludes by justifying the pluralist society of sovereign states as one that respects human diversity and upholds human freedom.

About the Author:

Robert Jackson is Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia.
Review:
`This is the major treatise since Bull on international society, written with force and coherence ... Jackson also provides one of the most illuminating commentaries on the major events of the post-cold war era...I consider Jackson's investigation of public virtues in world politics to be a
major achievement...The Global Covenant is an outstanding defense of the normative discourse in international theory and is at its best as a treatise on the principles and ethics of international conduct.'
International Studies Review

`Impressive not only in scope but also for the manner in which the author sustains his defence of the current international order...There is a great deal to admire in the book. The impression the reader gets is of being in the presence of a genuine scholar who brings to his subject immense
depth and clarity of thought...Ihe Global Covenant is a very important book - particularly for its unparalleled discussion of an interpretative method ... an eloquent vindication of the pluralist rules of international society.'
International Affairs

`Magnificent book'
Michael Joseph Smith, University of Virginia

`The Global Covenant explores the moral dimension of world politics. Locating that exploration firmly in the humanities, it offers a compelling alternative to mainstream social science approaches.
'
Terry Nardin, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
