Reviews

'This collection of essays deploys political theory as a tool of political interrogation, asking the important question of what rules of truth and truths of rule now govern the times in which we live. There is no more valuable or comprehensive pedagogical device than The Ashgate Research Companion to Modern Theory, Modern Power, World Politics for exploring it.' Michael Dillon, Lancaster University, UK 'A rich challenge to IR as usual. Read this. Think this through. Teach this.' Cynthia Weber, University of Sussex, UK
