"Brian Frederking's new book should appeal not only to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, but to anyone interested in international organization, U.S. foreign policy, or global politics in the age of terror. In this volume, Frederking expertly engages debates over power, rules and institutions to highlight a "security-hierarchy" paradox which plagues U.S. policy toward the U.N. Security Council. Highlighting tensions between unilateral temptations and multilateral imperatives, Frederking provides incisive case studies of evolving approaches to peacekeeping, international justice, sanctions, regional conflicts, terrorism. In the process, his demonstrates the contributions of an elegant theoretical synthesis to understanding the emergent global order." - Wesley Widmaier, St. Joseph's University, USA.
"In today's world, the Security Council is a conspicuous site for the play of power politics--this is anarchy in a nutshell. Yet the Security Council does its business by making rules, and these rules matter. Brian Frederking deftly dissects and resolves this apparent paradox by showing how these rules constitute the hegemonial and hierarchical arrangements that give the post-cold era its distinctive structural properties. Frederking has got it right. Global security, states and power are all social constructions, talked into existence, linked by rules and expressed in forms of rule." - Nicholas Onuf, Florida International University, USA.

This impressive collection of essays demonstrates how far Deleuzian research has moved into a new phase of engagement with fundamental questions in the humanities and sciences. It reflects the recent turn towards normative issues in Deleuzian philosophy, not only in the domains of political and legal philosophy in which they have been prominent but also in new areas such as epistemology, aesthetics and visual art. It provides informative and rigorous application of Deleuzian ideas to problems arising in philosophy, economics, literature and cognitive science. Revisiting Normativity with Deleuze truly represents the 'state of the art' in contemporary Deleuze studies.

"A fresh and thoughtful exploration of the concept of human rights in light of natural law theory. Using the UN Declaration of 1948 as a baseline, Alford shows why human rights are a vitally important dimension of twentieth century political thinking. He makes a deft and probing use of Jacques Maritain s approach to natural law through connaturality and argues that such an approach is superior to the alternatives found in the new natural law thinking or biological approaches to morality. He confronts the challenge posed to natural law thinking by the evil of genocide and the Holocaust. In this book we find a very fruitful comparison and interaction between various and diverse currents of thinking about politics, morality, and rights - in addition to Maritain and his critics, classic sources such as Aristotle, Plato, and Aquinas, Alford explores the thought of Arendt, Ignatieff, Freud, Nussbaum, MacIntyre, and others. This book is an insightful and thought provoking look at natural law and challenges of political thinking today." - John P. Hittinger, Professor of Philosophy, Center for Thomistic Studies, University of St Thomas, Houston, Texas

"As claims to human rights today are transformed by legislatures into positive law,we easily forget their moral origins in natural law.C. Fred Alford reminds us of thispedigree employing theappealing teaching virtues of accessible narrative, engaging style and compelling analysis." - Richard Pierre Claude,Senior Research Fellow, Human Rights Center,University of California,Berkeley, and Founding Editor, Human Rights Quarterly

"C. Fred Alford reads a distinctive canon (Aquinas, Locke, Maritain, Arendt, and others) with great sensitivity, enriched by his experience of interviewing ordinary people, teaching, and working in civic organizations. He develops a striking synthesis of narrative ethics and natural law. Alford argues that justice is real but that we know it through stories, not with what is narrowly called "reason." This engaging and accessible book has profound implications for how we should think and act." - Peter Levine, Director of Research, Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service, Tufts University

"Alford transforms the idea of natural law, broadening both its application and appeal for new audiences and for the most pressing issues of our day. A brilliant thesis, it both endorses and challenges the natural law tradition for contemporary scholarship." - Stephen F. Schneck, Department of Politics, The Catholic University of America
