  • Kenneth Waltz

    Ken BoothARTICLEJournal of Cold War Studies2024

    The cover of this book is a well-chosen photograph taken by the author, Paul R. Viotti, of the subject, Kenneth Waltz. It shows Waltz in his later years, with a genial smile and wearing his trademark hand-knotted bow tie. Readers can infer from the photograph that the book will be a friend's “intellectual biography.” And so it proves, though it is none the worse for that. Viotti provides some balance against the numerous detractors Waltz's work h…

    This volume looks outward to the twenty-first century and to the dynamics of this first truly global age. It asks the fundamental question: how might human societies live? In contrast to the orthodoxies of academic Philosophy and International Relations in much of the twentieth century, which marginalised or rejected the study of ethics, the contributors here believe that there is nothing more political than ethics, and therefore deserving of sch…

  • Navigating the `Absolute Novum

    Open AccessKen BoothARTICLEInternational Relations2008Cited by: 1

    This article situates John Herz's work within the perennial debate about realism and idealism, and the issue of whether and how the two sets of ideas can be reconciled. The variety of `realist' and `idealist' concepts and conceptualisations within Herz's work, and his attempt to combine them in an approach he called `Realist Liberalism', reveals the inadequacy of the addiction of many teachers and researchers in academic international relations t…

  • Theory of World Security

    Open AccessKen BoothBOOKTheory of World Security2007

    What is real? What can we know? How might we act? This book sets out to answer these fundamental philosophical questions in a radical and original theory of security for our times. Arguing that the concept of security in world politics has long been imprisoned by conservative thinking, Ken Booth explores security as a precious instrumental value which gives individuals and groups the opportunity to pursue the invention of humanity rather than liv…
