The Study of International Relations The State of the Art [Paperback]

This wide-ranging study surveys the present state of international relations as an academic field. It locates and assesses recent developments in the field - in short, what is being done where, by whom, and why. The editors have focused on some central and controversial theoretical issues, and included surveys of principal sub-fields, as well as the various approaches to the study of international relations in different countries. The book provides a comprehensive overview of an important and fast-growing area of academic endeavour, and is essential reading for teachers and students of international politics and the social sciences at large.PART 3 - Strategic Studies; H.Macdonald - Bucking the System: A Peace Researcher's Perspective on the Study of International Relations; M.Banks - International Political Economy and International Relations: From `Enfant Terrible' to Child Prodigy, or Just a Cuckoo in the Nest?; R.Tooze - The Relationship Between International Relations and International Law; I.D.De Lupis - Index
