Middle Ground Ethics and Human Rights in International Relations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The English School approach to International Relations generally claims to put forward an understanding of international affairs that occupies a "middle ground" between a power-politics view and an understanding informed by morality. In this article I claim that this attempt at a "middle ground" position does not work. Instead, I propose a constitutive theory as a better way to achieve this reconciliation.
