"This book sets current concerns within a broad historical and theoretical context, explores the depth and scope of presumed solidarism amidst the difficulties of acting on the basis of a more strongly articulated liberal position, and underscores the complexity and abiding tensions inherent in the relationship between order and justice. Chapters examine a wide range of state and transnational perspectives on order and justice, including those from China, Europe, India, Russia, the United States, and the Islamic world. Other chapters investigate how the order/justice relationship is mediated within major international institutions, including the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank."--BOOK JACKET
