Agonistics : Thinking the World Politically

Political conflict in our society is inevitable, and its results are often far fromnbsp;negative. How then should we deal with the intractable differences arisingnbsp;from complex modern culture?

Developing her groundbreaking political philosophy of agonistics - the searchnbsp;for a radical and plural democracy - Chantal Mouffe examines internationalnbsp;relations, strategies for radical politics, the future of Europe and the politics ofnbsp;artistic practices. She shows that in many circumstances where no alternativesnbsp;seem possible, agonistics offers a new road map for change. Engaging with
cosmopolitanism, post-operaism, and theories of multiple modernities shenbsp;argues in favour of a multipolar world with real cultural and political pluralism.
