Yet, the field of International Relations has paid limited attention to how centering the interpretation of the 'international' on each of these favors radically different orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this book, Leon Sosnowski effectively demonstrates the plausibility of a foreign policy recognizing the primacy of International Law. He does so by synthesizing Hans Kelsen's legal cosmopolitanism and elements of Hans J. Morgenthau's classical realism into a new theoretical framework - Normative Effectivism. He argues that it is an international political theory to challenge the current sovereigntist wave, contributing to a sustainable international order. He illustrates his arguments with a novel reading of Kelsen and Morgenthau's opposition to Carl Schmitt's worldview. His analysis shows that the post-WWII international system is at a critical crossroads, evidenced by Russia's post-Cold War foreign policy and the international response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecuring an important place in the subfield of International Political Theory, \u003ci\u003eThe Normative and The Political\u003c\/i\u003e will be equally useful to scholars in International Relations, Ethics, and International Law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leon Sosnowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041079052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041079057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Leon Sosnowski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425599242495,"sku":"9781041079057","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea15373c-6e86-472a-adf3-eaffc336aad6.jpg?v=1761540324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-normative-and-the-political-leon-sosnowski-9781041079057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
