This book explores how nationalism and multilateralism transform international society and global governance. It does so by comparing the governance model of the EU – a constitutionalised and increasingly polycentric form of multilateralism – with Northeast Asia. There nationalist administrations have resisted multilateral commitments and are locked into rivalries instead of pursuing a regional project.Both Europe and Northeast Asia can be seen as success stories of the late 20th/ early 21st centuries, but by having followed different approaches to international governance. The book traces these two trajectories through critical junctures in history to how both regions have dealt with the contemporary challenges of the financial crisis and climate change. During the financial crisis, Europe’s multilateral economic and monetary architecture revealed profound weaknesses whilst national policies allowed much of Northeast Asia to escape the worst of it. On climate change the European Union (EU) has developed effort-sharing governance models to reduce emissions, while Northeast Asian countries are relying on greening national industrial policy. The book argues that global governance has to find the balance between multilateralism and nationalism in order to find collaborative approaches to global challenges.This book provides a fresh take on the EU and on Northeast Asia and develops innovative concepts of international society and polycentric governance. Thus, it will be of considerable interest to researchers and students of global governance, international relations, EU and Asia Studies.
This book offers a philosophical analysis of the moral and legal justifications for the use of force. While the book focuses on the ethics self-defense, it also explores its relation to lesser evil justifications, public authority, the justification of punishment, and the ethics of war.Steinhoff’s account of the moral use of force covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of justification in general, the precise elements of different justifications, the logic of claim- and liberty-rights and of rights forfeiture, the value of human life and its limits, and the principles of reciprocity and precaution. While the author’s analysis is primarily philosophical, it is informed by a metaethical stance that also places heavy emphasis on existing law and legal scholarship. In doing so, the book appeals to widely shared moral intuitions, precepts, and concepts grounded in criminal law.Self-Defense, Necessity, and Punishment offers the most comprehensive and systematic account of the ethics of self-defense. It will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in applied ethics and moral philosophy, philosophy of law, and political philosophy.
This book argues that citizens have a moral right to decide by which criteria they grant migrants citizenship, as well as to control access to their territory in the first place. In developing and defending this argument, it critically engages numerous objections, thus providing the reader with a thorough overview of the current debate on the ethics of immigration and exclusion.The author’s argument is based on a straightforwardly individualist and liberal starting point. One of the rights granted by liberalism is freedom of association, which also comprises the right not to associate with people with whom one does not want to associate. While this is an individual right, it can be exercised collectively like many other individual rights. Thus, people can decide to collectively organize into an association pursuing certain goals; and subject to certain provisos, this gives rise to legitimate claims to space and territory in which they pursue these goals. The author shows that this right is far-reaching and robust, which entails an equally far-reaching and robust right to exclude. Moreover, he demonstrates that large-scale immigration from illiberal cultures tends to severely compromise the way of life, the values, and the institutions of liberal democracies in ways routinely ignored by apologists for multiculturalism.Freedom, Culture, and the Right to Exclude will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in applied ethics, political philosophy, political theory, and law.

Originally published in 1967, though with an enduring relevance as Britain once again navigates its role outside the EU, this book is a selection of documents which illustrate how the former European Economic Community came into being. The reader is invited to make up their mind about the arguments for and against British participation in the Common Market. The author introduces his evidence with an historical interpretation of the situation and concludes with an assessment of the significance of the Community concept in the world as well as in Europe.

Ma gebende unser wirtschaftliches und gesellschaftliches Handeln bestimmen-den Prinzipien erweisen sich immer mehr als Illusionen, deren Befolgung die Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft und die internationalen Beziehungen zerst ren. Sie werden zunehmend als L gen empfunden. Damit wird ein N hrboden geschaf-fen f r politische Kobolde und Rattenf nger. Die Trumps k nnen die etablierten wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Strukturen aber nicht nur zerst ren. Sie k nnen durch ihr Handeln auch einen Beitrag leisten, die politischen Illusionen zu berwinden und festgefahrene gesellschaftliche Strukturen zu l sen.越来越多的事实表明，决定我们经济行为，社会行为的原则只是出于幻想，这些原则正在破坏经济,破坏社会,破坏国际关系.这些原则使人感到是谎话,是培植政治小丑和蛊惑人心者的沃土。 特朗普们不但能摧毁已有的经济结构，社会结构，他们的行动正在破除政治幻想，破除已经陷入死胡同的社会结构。
