Liberal policy makers often suffer from moral blindness and a tendency toward coercion in the international arena, whilst realists tend to be epistemic sceptics, incorporating Nietzsche’s thought, directly or indirectly, into their theories. Mark Gismondi seeks to resolve the issues in these two approaches by adopting a covenant based approach, as described by Daniel Elazar’s work on the covenant tradition in politics, to international relations theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe covenant approach has three essential principles: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epolicy makers must have a sense of realism about the existence of evil and its political consequences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epower must be shared and limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eliberty requires a basis in shared values.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEthics, Realism and Liberalism in International Relations\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to students and researchers of politics, philosophy, ethics and international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233651446104,"sku":"9780415772372","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415772372.jpg?v=1769682630","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ethics-liberalism-and-realism-in-international-relations","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
