Bringing together eminent International Relations (IR) scholars from China and the West, this book examines moral realism from a range of different perspectives. Through its analyses, it verifies the robustness of moral realism in IR theory. The first section of the book is written by Chinese scholars and dedicated to debates about how moral realism relates to traditional schools of IR theory. The latter portion, provided by Western contributors, critically investigates both the universal and practical values of moral realism. Finally, Yan Xuetong concludes by responding constructively to all criticisms and further exploring the nature and characteristics of interstate leadership in moral realism.

Des pièces d'archives - tracts, brochures, affiches, photographies, etc. - Choisies et commentées composent un récit vivant qui nous fait redécouvrir la France contestataire du début des années 1970, dont les échos résonnent avec force cinquante ans plus tard.00Le ± Peace and Love ?, La culture hippie et la ± libération sexuelle ? ont eu tendance a faire oublier combien, en France, les années 1970-1974 furent traversées de tensions, de conflits ou d'affrontements.00Ce début de décennie post-68 est largement habité par la figure de la violence, celle de l'état ou celle considérée comme une option par les mouvements contestataires.00Quels moyens mobiliser dans les luttes locales, nationales ou internationales ?00L'occupation d'une usine, la séquestration d'un patron, la préparation au ± coup de poing ? sont-elles légitimes ?00Le recours a des formes d'action directe illégale est-il même inévitable pour espérer ± changer la vie ? Et combattre les diverses formes d'oppression ?00Ou bien faut-il malgré tout privilégier la non-violence, la désobéissance civile ?00Les archives ici réunies et commentées font entendre les questionnements qui traversent le début des années 1970-et qui demeurent pour partie les nôtres

"Civil society and civic engagement have increasingly become topics of discussion at the national and international level. The editors of this volume ask, does the concept of 'civil society' include gender equality and gender justice? Or, to frame the question differently, is civil society a feminist concept? Conversely, does feminism need the concept of civil society? This important volume offers both a revised gendered history of civil society and a program for making it more egalitarian in the future. An interdisciplinary group of internationally known authors investigates the relationship between public and private in the discourses and practices of civil societies; the significance of the family for the project of civil society; the relation between civil society, the state, and different forms of citizenship; and the complex connection between civil society, gendered forms of protest and nongovernmental movements. While often critical of historical instantiations of civil society, all the authors nonetheless take seriously the potential inherent in civil society, particularly as it comes to influence global politics. They demand, however, an expansion of both the concept and project of civil society in order to make its political opportunities available to all."--Back cover
