Description
This book examines how the academic discipline of International Relations has conceptualized the world historical crisis that has shaped world affairs between the end of the First World War and the end of the 1990s. A distinguished group of contributors trace the development of the subject through the main historical periods and in relation to key debates: ethics, power and nationalism; conditions of peace; law and peaceful change; and globalization. It provides the most comprehensive survey of the discipline's past and the key issues to be faced in the future.
Reviews' ... a real gem ... indispensable to our endeavour to understand world politics in the twenty first century.' Brian Schmidt, New York State University at Albany ' ... the editors and the contributors have pulled it off and in so doing have done a lot for a rehistoricized understanding of an international relations which is both idealistic and realistic.' Hayward Alker, University of Southern California ' ... edited books on debates between international relations scholars about the 'state of the field' are often the last place to look for fresh ideas about world politics ... this volume is an exception.' Foreign Affairs ' ... an excellent volume, with both breadth and sophistication, deserving of a wide readership in the study of world politics.' David Dessler, College of William of Mary
