ABSTRACT

This title was first published in 2003.Justice, Humanity and the New World Order offers a refreshing analysis of current jurisprudential concerns regarding the new world order, by examining them in the intellectual context of the late eighteenth-century Enlightenment. After setting the historical context, the author investigates aspects of Enlightenment political culture as well as aspects of the new world order, including international relations, the European Union and human rights. In conclusion, the author introduces the concept of a new humanism, which he suggests, drawing on certain aspects of Enlightenment political philosophy, can complement the new world order.
