Reviews
"""The question this book engages with is crucial to understanding the relevance of Rawls's liberalism to contemporary international affairs. Exploring the question of whether there are (or could be) decent non-liberal societies is essential to establishing the boundaries of toleration in international affairs. These are the boundaries of just war, of humanitarian aid and intervention, of stability and justice. They tell us whether a liberal conception of global justice is capable of being the object of an overlapping consensus between morally and culturally distinct societies. Annette Forster has accepted this challenge and produced a fascinating study of 'the decent peace thesis' that will give students and scholars in the field much to think about."" - Peter Sutch, University of Cardiff, UK"
