Book Synopsis
Argues that decency is a primary source of the political tension that has long shaped the struggles for power, identity, and justice in the global arena. This book distinguishes among basic, conservative, and liberal strands of decency to critically examine the many conflicting and competing applications of decency in global politics.

Trade Review
Nobody, presumably, wants to be indecent, and this excellent book by Steven C. Roach explores the significance but also the hypocrisy of 'decency' in international relations. This is a challenging book in the best of ways and is a must-read for anybody concerned with the ethics of the global order." - Ilan Baron, Durham University
