It argues that the state has duties and inalienable rights that ground its relationship to its citizens and other states. The state has a right to exist as a state, regardless of its governmental form or factual behavior. This account explores the moral standing of the state and examines the status of different kinds of states in world politics and expectations towards their ethical behavior. Every state has a moral standing that must be respected in a morally imperfect world. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 July 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: University of Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKant's moral and political philosophy has played a significant role in shaping ethical considerations in international relations. This study contends that his theory of the state holds paramount importance in understanding the moral agency of states, particularly in contemporary debates. According to Kant, the state possesses not only obligations but also, controversially, inalienable rights that establish its relationship with its citizens and other states.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost significantly, the state, irrespective of its governmental structure or actual behavior, has the right to exist as a state. The Kantian account presented here explores not only the moral agency but also the moral standing of the state, examining the status of different kinds of states in world politics and the expectations placed upon their ethical behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a morally imperfect world gradually striving towards the ideal condition of perpetual peace, every state possesses a moral standing that must be respected. Kant's philosophy provides a framework for analyzing the ethical dimensions of state actions and interactions, contributing to a deeper understanding of international relations and promoting a more responsible and ethical approach to global governance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 360g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 143 x 222 x 17 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781786837868\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milla Emilia Vaha","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105856614650,"sku":"9781786837868","price":62.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7eca799021228cdbadc97b453486d65c.jpg?v=1632971472","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/moral-standing-of-the-state-in-international-politics-a-kantian-account","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
