Product Description

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"

Book Description
The fully updated and revised third edition of this widely used text provides a comprehensive survey of leading perspectives in the field including an entirely new chapter on Realism by Jack Donnelly. The introduction explains the nature of theory and the reasons for studying international relations in a theoretically informed way. The nine chapters which follow - written by leading scholars in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the US and the UK - provide thorough examinations of each of the major approaches currently prevailing in the discipline.

First Sentence
Although in the modern era we have grown accustomed to the idea of theories within the 'natural sciences', the suggestion that the political and social worlds also lend themselves to theoretical enquiry remains problematic for many. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensively inspiring!!, 7 Mar 2003
If you only ever buy one book about International relations, make sure this is it! A one stop shop, as either an introduction to or a lauch pad to further investigation of all the most important theoires regarding international politics today. Arranged in chapters on each of the relevant theories, starting with the most influential and widely applied, such as Realism and Idealism, this book offers an insightful and comprehensive account of both the history, main agruments and critisims of each theory. The latter chapters are even more important as they cover a whole host of the newer post positivist theories, which offer much to think about and inspire. Written by some of the leading theorist in the field this book is a who's who of the international Realtions scene. worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction for any student, 1 Mar 2006
This is a lucid, well thought out and extremely helpful intoduction to a constantly evolving field. I highly recommend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in theories of international relations (the chapters on Liberalism and the English School are fascinating incidentally).
