Paperback. Condición: Good. Drawing upon philosophy and social theory, Social Theory of International Politics develops a theory of the international system as a social construction. Alexander Wendt clarifies the central claims of the constructivist approach, presenting a structural and idealist worldview which contrasts with the individualism and materialism which underpins much mainstream international relations theory. He builds a cultural theory of international politics, which takes whether states view each other as enemies, rivals or friends as a fundamental determinant. Wendt characterises these roles as 'cultures of anarchy', described as Hobbesian, Lockean and Kantian respectively. These cultures are shared ideas which help shape state interests and capabilities, and generate tendencies in the international system. The book describes four factors which can drive structural change from one culture to another - interdependence, common fate, homogenization, and self-restraint - and examines the effects of capitalism and democracy in the emergence of a Kantian culture in the West.…

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The threat from extraterrestrials is not Them, it's Us. In this provocative exploration of what we know of the search for intelligent life in the universe, Alexander Wendt explains why, despite the common assumption that discovering a non-human intelligence in our solar system would bring humanity together, there is a real chance that--even without direct contact--it could cause states and the international system to implode in chaos and violenceinstead.In 2021, the Pentagon announced that UFOs, now Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), are not only real, but a potential threat to national security. The Pentagon did not say who the threatwas from, what exactly the threat was, nor did it mention extraterrestrials (ETs). Yet this finding raises several existential questions. How would human society react to the discovery that we are not alone in our solar system? Would the discovery of ETs locally unify humanity under a world state, or would disagreements on how to respond to an alien presence tear us apart?In The Last Humans, Alexander Wendt explores a future scenario in which global authoritiesconclude--and disclose--that UAP are flown by ETs, and what this discovery would mean for both human security and the international state system. Wendt contends that this situation would indeed be a nationalsecurity threat, but not of the traditional, military kind. The realization that states are impotent in the face of vastly superior ET power would be an ontological shock to modern civilization, given the anthropocentric assumption that "We Are Alone". Taking UAP and potential ETs seriously would call into question the legitimacy of the modern state, the social contract that underlies it, and the global civilization built around it.By considering how people might respondto the discovery of ETs, Wendt shows how attachments to the territorial state could weaken and ultimately collapse anthropocentric sovereignty from within. He argues that this would throw humanity intoa twenty-first century version of Hobbes' war of all against all--even if ETs never intervene in human affairs. Through this prism, The Last Humans makes the case that the threat of UAP is not alien conquest, but a global identity crisis in which humans discover a powerful new reason to hate each other.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. The book is in very good condition, very minor shelf rubbing. The interior pages appear clean throughout. 'There is an underlying assumption in the social sciences that consciousness and social life are ultimately classical physical/material phenomena. In this ground-breaking book, Alexander Wendt challenges this assumption by proposing that consciousness is, in fact, a macroscopic quantum mechanical phenomenon. In the first half of the book, Wendt justifies the insertion of quantum theory into social scientific debates, introduces social scientists to quantum theory and the philosophical controversy about its interpretation, and then defends the quantum consciousness hypothesis against the orthodox, classical approach to the mind-body problem. In the second half, he develops the implications of this metaphysical perspective for the nature of language and the agent-structure problem in social ontology. Wendt's argument is a revolutionary development which raises fundamental questions about the nature of social life and the work of those who study it.' xii+354 pages. 6 x 9 inches.

Softcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Der Autor begibt sich auf eine spannende Reise ins Reich der heute nachgefragten Effizienzdrogen. In Gesprachen mit Drogenkonsumenten und -experten entwickelt er ein facettenreiches Bild der Drogenwelt von heute und morgen. Das Bedurfnis, durch Rauschmittel die eigenen Grenzen zu uberschreiten, ist so alt wie die Menschheit. Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts stehen wir nun an einem charakteristischen Wendepunkt, den Alexander Wendt unter grossem personlichem Einsatz erforscht hat. Leistungsdrogen, wie das leicht verfugbare Crystal Meth, erlauben es, Tage und Nachte durchzuarbeiten oder auch durchzufeiern. Allzeit prasent und wach, ein Traum, der heute mehr Anhanger findet als die bewusstseinserweiternden Trips der Vergangenheit. Der Autor folgt dem Stoff und berichtet aus Suchtkliniken, aus dem Blickwinkel von Drogenfahndern und Konsumenten, die er in der Subkultur der Stadte ebenso findet wie in der normalen Arbeitswelt. Ein Blick in die Ideenwerkstatt des Biohacking lasst ahnen, wohin die Reise weitergeht - brave new world.…
