Rezensionen

'The Vulnerable Subject is a wonderful book. The volume's editors have assembled a

collection of essays that collectively take the reader beyond now-familiar critiques

not only of mainstream 'explanatory' IR theory, but also of rationalist normative

theory. Eschewing well-worn oppositions and dichotomies, the authors challenge us

to consider the implications of 'the vulnerable subject' in a wide range of theoretical

and empirical positions related to global politics. If you teach or research in international

relations or moral and political philosophy, this book may change the way

you think about ethics, politics, your 'subject' and your self.'
