In fact, he argues that and demonstrates why IPT is one of the most promising lenses through which this normative shift in the international landscape can be analysed and understood.

Drawing, as always, on a wide range of thinkers from various disciplines and presenting his arguments in his typical, engaging writing style, Brown’s book should be compulsory reading not only for IR and IPT students but, more generally, for anyone interested in the normative dimensions of international and global politics.
