This book is aimed at shedding light on seemingly intractable problems associated with pressing international and global issues and on offering new possibilities for agency and action. And, by rejecting the normative/analytical bifurcation that pervades the field of IR, 'ethical reflexivity' also serves to reinvigorate theories of IR with a self-reflexivity that highlights and interrogates their normative assumptions and commitments, speaking to both theory and practice.
