Radicals and Reactionaries in Twentieth-Century International Thought - The Palgrave Macmillan History of International Thought

Marc Notes: The history of international thought is a flourishing field, but it has tended to focus on Anglo-American realist and liberal thinkers. This book moves beyond the Anglosphere and beyond realism and liberalism. It analyses the work of thinkers from continental Europe and Asia with radical and reactionary agendas quite different from the mainstream. Biographical Note: Ian Hall is Professor of International Relations at Griffith University, Australia. His recent books include Dilemmas of Decline: British Intellectuals and World Politics, 1945-1975 (2012). His research focuses on the history of international thought and Indian foreign policy.

It includes original chapters on German conservatives and Italian socialists, Labour Party radicals and French fascists, as well as Italian and Japanese imperialists and Indian anti-colonialists.
