The Vulnerable Subject Summary

The Vulnerable Subject: Beyond Rationalism in International Relations by A. Beattie

This book develops a concept of vulnerability in International Relations that allows for a profound rethinking of a core concept of international politics: means-ends rationality. It explores traditions that proffer a more complex and relational account of vulnerability.

The Vulnerable Subject Reviews

'The Vulnerable Subject is a wonderful book. The volume's editors have assembled a

collection of essays that collectively take the reader beyond now-familiar critiques

not only of mainstream 'explanatory' IR theory, but also of rationalist normative

theory. Eschewing well-worn oppositions and dichotomies, the authors challenge us

to consider the implications of 'the vulnerable subject' in a wide range of theoretical

and empirical positions related to global politics. If you teach or research in international

relations or moral and political philosophy, this book may change the way

you think about ethics, politics, your 'subject' and your self.'

Fiona Robinson, Professor of Political Science, Carleton University, Canada
