The Quest for Knowledge in International Relations - Richard Ned Lebow - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Quest for Knowledge in International Relations - Richard Ned Lebow - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

What do we mean by theory in international relations? What kinds of knowledge do theories seek? How do they stipulate it is found? How should we evaluate any resulting knowledge claims? What do answers to these questions tell us about the theory project in IR, and in the social sciences more generally? Lebow explores these questions in a critical evaluation of the positivist and interpretivist epistemologies. He identifies tensions and problems specific to each epistemology, and some shared by both, and suggests possible responses. By exploring the relationship between the foundations of theories and the empirical assumptions they encode, Lebow''s analysis enables readers to examine in greater depth the different approaches to theory and their related research strategies. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations theory and philosophy of social science.

What would everyone wear as uniforms were discarded and soldiers returned home, Nazi camps were liberated, and millions of uprooted people struggled to subsist?

I Do Solemnly Swear - The Moral Obligations of Legal Officials - Bog af Steve (University of Arkansas) Sheppard - Hardback

I Do Solemnly Swear - The Moral Obligations of Legal Officials - Bog af Steve (University of Arkansas) Sheppard - Hardback

How should morals change what officials do? The arguments of scholars have been controversial and hard to understand. This book bridges the gap and describes law and morals as working together in a way that isn't really controversial, just hard. It requires officials to work for the common good and in good faith, and to put the people over party, money, and negligence.

Incomprehensible! - A Study of How Our Legal System Encourages Incomprehensibility, Why It Matters, and What We Can Do About It - Bog af Wendy Wagner

Contracts, patents, regulations, disclosures, and legislation are often premised on the foundational assumption that 'more information is better'. These legal programs do not insist, however, that the information and associated communications be comprehensible. This book outlines the problem of incomprehensibility across legal fields and offers suggestions for reform.
