      • Transforming World Politics: From Empire to Multiple Worlds
      • Agathangelou & Ling 2009
      • Paperback, 208 pages, 234 x 156 mm

These projects offer few options for emancipation; consequently, many feel they have little choice but to retaliate against violence with more violence. The authors of this pioneering work articulate worldism as an alternative approach to world politics.
