Empire And Community

Empire and Community provides the first comprehensive presentation of Edmund Burkes thinking on international relations. Although Burkes writings and speeches have been the subject of much analysis and controversy, his perspective on international relations has not been fully addressed by the scholarly community. David P. Fidler and Jennifer M. Welsh establish Burke as a classical thinker on international relations and help to situate his thinking within current international relations theory. Their detailed introduction is followed by edited selections from Burkes writings and speeches on Ireland, America, India, and the French Revolution.
