Rethinking ethical foreign policy

Description

"This new book goes beyond current debates which locate the limitations to ethical foreign policy in the strategic and economic interests of nation-states. Rather than counter-posing interests and ethics, trying to find 'hidden agendas', or emphasizing the double standards at play in ethical foreign policy, this text brings together leading international theorists in order to develop a critical understanding of the rise of ethical foreign policy and to analyse the limits of ethical policy-making on its own terms. The book comprises three clear sections that explore: theoretical issues, techniques and tactics of ethical intervention, and the geography/space of ethical intervention. The authors deal with the limits of 'ethical foreign policy' both in the light of the internal dynamic of these policies themselves and with regard to the often unintended consequences of policies designed to better the world."--BOOK JACKET.
