What is included with this book?
Political theory has traditionally focused on governance within the confines of a specific polity, but with the recent proliferation of environmental realities and national decisions that have global repercussions, political theory must now be re-imagined to confront globalization head-on. Political Theory Without Borders presents a collection scholarship that does just that. Each chapter focuses on answering specific questions that have arisen from issues of global spillover – like climate change and pollution – and the increasingly unrestricted flow of people, products, and financial capital across borders. With contributions from emerging scholars alongside key texts from some of the most well-known theorists of previous generations, this collection illustrates how the classic concerns of political theory – justice and equality, liberty and oppression – have re-emerged with a renewed significance at the global level.
Robert E. Goodin is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Social and Political Theory at Australian National University and a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy. The Founding Editor of The Journal of Political Philosophy, Dr. Goodin has published many books, including most recently Explaining Norms (2013 with G. Brennan, L. Eriksson and N. Southwood), On Complicity and Compromise (2013 with C. Lepora), and On Settling (2012). His book Discretionary Time: A New Measure of Freedom (2008 with J.M. Rice, A. Parpo and L. Eriksson) was awarded the International Social Science Council’s Stein Rokkan Prize for Comparative Social Science Research.
