Biography

Sergei Prozorov is University Lecturer in World Politics at the University of Helsinki and Academy of Finland Research Fellow. He is the author of four monographs and has also published numerous articles on political philosophy and international relations in major international journals.

With a level of philosophical sophistication rarely found in the discipline of international relations, Sergei Prozorov’s texts issue challenges that no one interested in politics in general and global politics in particular should ignore.

I can thus warmly recommend these volumes to anyone with an interest in cutting-edge international political theory.
