Andrew Linklater has been one of the most innovative thinkers in international relations for over twenty-five years. The introductory chapter and eleven essays in this volume provide an overview of the distinctive approach to critical international relations theory that he has been developing during this period. They reflect on the following areas of inquiry: The 'problem of community' which is concerned with the relationship between the obligations that political communities have to their members and the duties they have to the rest of the human race. The 'problem of harm' which revolves around the sociological question of how far human societies have made progress in creating global mechanisms that protect all persons from unnecessary suffering. These essays provide a unique approach to the state, citizenship and humanity that will interest researchers and students in international relations, political theory, historical sociology and cognate areas of inquiry.
