J.J. Rousseau, I. Kant and the Theories of International Relations

More about the book

The paper analyzes the political philosophies of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Immanuel Kant, focusing on their influence on modern international relations theory. It argues that while both thinkers are often categorized as idealists or realists, their ideas align more closely with neoliberalism. Through a detailed examination, the work highlights how their Enlightenment-era contributions continue to shape contemporary political thought, emphasizing the complexity of their positions rather than fitting them into rigid ideological classifications.
