Why read it?

1 author picked Liberal Internationalism as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Beate Jahn’s Liberal Internationalism is an exciting blend of analysis of the liberal tradition of political thought, while also providing an “immanent critique” of liberalism’s global contradictions—both historically, and in contemporary constellations.

From Dillon's list on liberalism and politics.
