Review


Reviews of previous editions:

'An outstanding textbook.'

- Andreas Bieler, University of Birmingham

'One of the most useful books on International Relations theory to have appeared in recent years...a most valuable addition to the burgeoning literature in the field.'

- Chris Brown, Political Studies

'A very fine book, bringing together a group of contributors who describe the major currents of International Relations theory. Beginning with 'liberal internationalism' and finishing up with 'green politics', the book is highly readable and illuminating for a subject not everyone finds accessible.'

- RUSI Journal
 
 
'...and excellent overview of the main theories of international politics and the key debates...provides a careful consideration of the central paradigms...will enrich the intellectual...' Forum: Centre for Citizenship, Development and Human Rights

Product Description

This leading text introduces the whole range of major theoretical approaches to the study of International Relations in a way that really gets students thinking. Each theory is placed within context and discussed in juxtaposition to other theoretical approaches, and each chapter is written by a leading expert on each approach, giving the student an excellent view of the latest developments. The new edition has new chapters on historical sociology and international political theory and has been thoroughly updated.
 
This successful and popular textbook provides a systematic and comprehensive introduction to the main theoretical approaches in the study of international relations. Written by a team of leading scholars from around the world, the core chapters each present a detailed and critical analysis of the key theories prevailing in the discipline, from realism and liberalism to feminism and post-structuralism. These are set in context by an introduction assessing the importance and role of theory in the study of world politics.

This fully revised fourth edition includes entirely new chapters on Historical Sociology by Andrew Linklater and International Political Theory by Terry Nardin.

Written by the some of the leading contemporary scholars in the discipline of International Relations, this book condenses and presents theory in a logical and direct manner whilst striving to achieve impartiality. Strongly recommended to those studying the topic, may be of a little difficulty to someone new to the discipline - in which case I recommend an introductory book like: "International Relations: The Basics" by Peter Sutch and Juanita Elias, as preliminary reading.

This book is perfect if you require examples and application of IR theories. However, as an introduction to IR theory it skips the basic building blocks in the theory and assumes readers have an intimate understanding of IR theory.
