 | Francis Fukuyama and the End of History (paperback) (ISBN 0-7083-1428-7)
In the early 1990's the American academic, political commentator and government advisor, Francis Fukuyama, leapt to prominence with his argument that society had entered a new and lasting phase. He claimed that the change was so dramatic that it might be accurately depicted as representing the end of history. Fukuyama derived his argument from the writings of Kant, Hegel and a critical reading of Marx. This new phase represented the worldwide triumph of liberal democracy with the collapse of Communism. History has ended in the sense that there is no more room for large ideological battles.

Hegel and Marx After the Fall of Communism (paperback) (ISBN 0-7083-1430-9)
'In his latest book, David MacGregor challenges us to re-think the place we have given to Hegel and Marx in the social theory of a so called 'post-communist' world. In a jolting and lucid argument, MacGregor re-casts the relationship between these two thinkers within a framework that is deeply committed to a critique of everyday forms of domination. In doing so, MacGregor reveals Hegel and Marx to be superbly relevant and profound for an analysis of the practices of the "new economy".' Joe Hermer, Wolfson College, Oxford

Kant and the Theory and Practice of International Right (paperback) (ISBN 0-7083-1508-9)
This innovative study focuses on the Kantian theory of international relations, a subject which has frequently been either ignored or misunderstood. Kant was criticized by contemporaries who asserted that his political ideas were idealistic and impractical. He countered this accusation by evolving a political philosophy which formed a link between the theoretical doctrine of pure law and the actualities of the real world.

Carl Schmitt and Authoritarian Liberalism: Strong State, Free Economy (paperback) (ISBN 0708314414)
Within Germany, Carl Schmitt ranks as a political thinker alongside Hobbes whom he follows in advocating a strong state as the guarantor against civil war. But despite his experience of the Weimar Republic and his subsequent collaboration with the Nazi regime, Schmitt never advocated totalitarianism. Instead he made a dual affirmation of a strong state coexisting with a free economy, an idea that has been propelled to the centre of discussion in recent years with the demise of the welfare state and the rise of neo-conservatism and authoritarian liberalism in countries such as Chile and Singapore.

William Morris: The Art of Socialism (paperback) (ISBN 0-7083-1582-8)
In this stimulating study, Ruth Kinna reviews the debates that have surrounded Morris's work and suggests that the romanticism and utopianism of News From Nowhere have been treated wrongly as a weakness of his thought. By analysing the impact that Morris's understanding of art had on his political thought, she argues that his socialism was driven by a deeply romantic impulse and that this impulse underpinned his central contribution to socialist thought.
