This book offers a succinct re-examination of Berlin¿s Cold War liberalism at a time when many
observers worry about the emergence of a new Cold War. Two chapters look closely at Berlin¿s
liberalism in a Cold War context one carefully analyses whether Berlin was offering a
universal political theory ¿ and argues that he did indeed (already at the time of the Cold War
there were worries that Berlin was a kind of relativist). It will be of value for scholars of
the cold war and of security issues in contemporary Asia as well as students of history and
philosophy.
