Reviews

'Lucid, learned, and challenging, Becoming International is Jens Bartelson's most ambitious work to date. Its unfailingly critical perspective questions our most fundamental categories-the international and the imperial, the global and the planetary-and will productively reframe myriad pressing contemporary debates.' David Armitage, Author of Foundations of Modern International Thought 'With characteristic boldness, erudition, and conceptual sophistication, Jens Bartelson traces the emergence, proliferation, and ideological functions, of the idea that we live in an 'international realm' - a world divided into sovereign states - and how this belief system has framed understandings of politics and disguised the continuity of imperial forms of rule. Original, erudite, and ambitious, Becoming International is a major contribution to political theory and the history of international thought.' Duncan Bell, University of Cambridge
