Isaiah Berlin's Cold War Liberalism

Zusatztext

This book offers a succinct re-examination of Berlin¿s Cold War liberalism, at a time when many observers worry about the emergence of a new Cold War. Two chapters look closely at Berlin¿s liberalism in a Cold War context, one carefully analyses whether Berlin was offering a universal political theory ¿ and argues that he did indeed (already at the time of the Cold War there were worries that Berlin was a kind of relativist). It will be of value for scholars of the cold war and of security issues in contemporary Asia, as well as students of history and philosophy.<p></p>
