Furio Cerutti

Global Challenges for Leviathan

A Political Philosophy of Nuclear Weapons and Global Warming

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The sovereign state created at the onset of modernity can no longer protect us nor future generations from nuclear war and the effects of global warming. Politics now has to cope with the survival of humankind, not just ensure the security of individual nations. Will it fail or succeed? Far from touting easy solutions, this book provides food for thought about the future of state and politics and the meaning of our relationship with posterity.
