Blurb

In this extensively revised edition of what has long been regarded as the very best text on IR Theory, leading experts offer us ways to make sense of international relations. In largely rewritten chapters, the full range of theories are presented from the historically-influential realism, liberalism and constructivism to postcolonialism and feminism. The result is an unparalleled insight into the main paradigms and the most cutting edge thought.

Uniquely, this text in its sixth edition offers a more global introduction to IR which showcases insights from across the world, and by employing an historical sociology perspective throughout, shows how any understanding of IR is historically- and geographically-contingent. Also new for this edition are chapters on postcolonialism and institutionalism, as well as chapters to better make sense of the discipline and the dynamics within and between theories. Boxed cases now feature in every chapter, to apply theory to contemporary empirical examples from gendered policy in the UN to ‘fake news’, from migration to the Amazon’s forest fires.

This text remains the definitive companion for all students of International Relations, at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
