Cambridge University Press Causation in International Relations Reclaiming Causal Analysis 108 Cambridge Studies in International Relations Series Number 108
Book SynopsisMilja Kurki examines the meaning of the concept of cause in international relations. Proposing an approach to causal analysis that emphasizes the importance of multi-causality and accepts the validity of many social science methods, she suggests that reinterpreting the notion of 'causation' opens up avenues for future IR scholarship.Trade Review'Cause is the central concept of any science, including human sciences. Yet, most IR scholars seem to assume that this is not the case, which explains in part the appalling state of the discipline. To paraphrase Kant, it is time to awaken IR scholars from their 'dogmatic slumber' by shifting the field of background discourse, as Kurki attempts to do here. Her brilliant book will no doubt make a huge contribution to the revival of cumulative research in world politics, peace and conflict studies and related fields.'

Cambridge University Press 911 and the Rise of Global AntiTerrorism Law
Book SynopsisTwenty years after the outbreak of the threat posed by international jihadist terrorism, which triggered the need for democracies to balance fundamental rights and security needs, 9/11 and the Rise of Global Anti-Terrorism Law offers an overview of counter-terrorism and of the interplay among the main actors involved in the field since 2001. This book aims to give a picture of the complex and evolving interaction between the international, regional and domestic levels in framing counter-terrorism law and policies. Targeting scholars, researchers and students of international, comparative and constitutional law, it is a valuable resource to understand the theoretical and practical issues arising from the interaction of several levels in counter-terrorism measures. It also provides an in-depth analysis of the role of the United Nations Security Council.Trade Review'Since 9/11, the UN Security Council has become a global counter-terrorism legislator and actor. This impressive collection provides much needed analysis and critique of how the emergency intervention of the Security Council two decades ago has become normalized. It examines the Security Council's significant and surprising impact on domestic laws and practices targeting terrorism financing, pre-crime, listing, internet censorship and intelligence co-operation.'

Cambridge University Press Karl Popper
Book SynopsisSir Karl Popper was a major thinker of the twentieth century, one who ? as Anthony O''Hear writes in his new Foreword ? ''has had a beneficent influence on those who have come under the spell of his thought and of the inimitable prose in which he articulates it''. It is now twenty-five years since Popper died, and thus seems ? after a quarter of a century ? an apposite moment to revaluate his impact, significance, and influence. The several chapters in this classic volume focus on many key elements of Popper''s thought and philosophy. They are by no means uncritical, but afford Popper the respect due to a philosopher who wrote always with a degree of clarity, precision, and directness rare in the academic world of his time, and ? as O''Hear puts it ? ''even rarer subsequently''. This important book constitutes an essential introduction to some of the most esteemed philosophical writing of our times.Table of ContentsIntroduction Anthony O' Hear; 1. Popper, science and rationality W. H. Newto-Smith; 2. Popper and reliabilism Peter Lipton; 3. The problem of the empirical basis E.G. Zahar; 4. 'Revolution in permanence': Popper on theory-change in science John Worrall; 5. Popper's contribution to the philosophy of probability Donald Gillies; 6. Propensities and indeterminism David Miller; 7. Popper on determinism Peter Clark; 8. Popper and the quantum theory Michael Redhead; 9. The uses of Karl Popper Gunter Wachtershauser; 10. Popper and Darwinism John Watkins; 11. Popper and the scepticism of evolutionary epistemology, or, what were human beings made for? Michael Smithurst; 12. Does Popper explain historical explanation? Kenneth Minogue; 13. The grounds for anti-historicism Graham Macdonald; 14. What use is Popper to a politician? Bryan Magee.
