Hannah Arendt and International Relations: Readings Across the Lines

Arendt's approach to politics focuses on action and conduct, rather than institutions, constitutions, and states. In light of Arendtian conceptions of politics, essays in this book challenge conventional IR theories. The contributions on agency explore concepts and categories of political action that enable individuals to act politically and to re-make the world in new, unpredictable ways. The contributions on structure explore how Arendt provides new critical purchase upon often reified structures and categories.Williams, John is the author of 'Hannah Arendt and International Relations: Readings Across the Lines', published 2008 under ISBN 9780230606135 and ISBN 023060613X.
