International Relations Theories: Discipline and Diversity

International Relations Theories: Discipline and Diversity (4th edn)

Edited by Tim Dunne, Milja Kurki, and Steve Smith

Abstract

The fourth edition of this text provides coverage of international relations theories and arguments. The chapters explore the full spectrum of theoretical perspectives and debates, ranging from the historically dominant traditions of realism, liberalism and Marxism to postcolonialism and green theory. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular theory and features a case study that bridges theory and practice, and shows how theory can be used to explain real world political dilemmas. Spotlights on key books and articles encourage readers to go beyond the textbook and explore important works in the field, and new case study questions encourage analytical thinking and help readers understand the value of applying theory to concrete political problems.

Keywords: international relations theories, international relations, realism, liberalism, Marxism, postcolonialism, green theory
