This is especially true in the post-9\/11 world. However, contending discourses can also open the way to greater dialogue in global civil society and across states and international organizations. This possibility holds even for the most murderous sorts of conflicts in deeply divided societies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this timely and original book, John Dryzek examines major contemporary conflicts in terms of clashing discourses. Topics covered include the alleged clash of civilizations; societies divided by ethnicity, nationality, or religion; economic globalization versus resistance; plus an in-depth discussion of the 'war on terror'. Dryzek concludes by highlighting the limitations of current neoconservative and cosmopolitan approaches, arguing that only deliberative global politics offers unprecedented new possibilities for democratic engagement in the international system.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, politics, philosophy, and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface.  \u003cp\u003e1 Welcome to a Divided World.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 From the Clash of Civilizations to the Engagement of Discourses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Deliberation in Divided Societies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Discourses of Error in the War on Terror.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Contesting Globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Reflexivity and Resistance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Governing Discourses: The Limits of Liberal Multilateralism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Three Kinds of Democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407300849944,"sku":"9780745634128","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745634128.jpg?v=1784160161","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/deliberative-global-politics-discourse-and-democracy-in-a-divided-world-hardback-9780745634128","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
