Opis

This collection of original essays is the first attempt to explore the relationship between theoretical innovation in international studies and historical transformations. Leading scholars reflect on the flux, uncertainty and transformation of world orders, and sketch the contours of the emerging world order. The contributions revolve around four specific themes: the remaking of global theory; structural change in political economy and ecology in an age of globalization; social movements of transformation and emancipation; and reflection on world order in the next century.
