Full Description
This comprehensive Handbook provides an assessment of recent scholarship in the field of International Relations (IR). Cameron G. Thies brings together leading scholars to explore its contested disciplinary foundations, as well as the major theoretical and methodological approaches used to explain and understand IR.
Taking an inclusive approach, this Handbook assesses both mainstream and radical approaches to IR. Chapters examine key aspects of international security, with discussions of terrorism, cybersecurity, diplomatic and intelligence studies, alongside an analysis of the differences, origins and evolution of peace science and conflict processes. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical debates and diverse case studies, authors explore issues relating to comparative foreign policy, critical international political economy and trade. They investigate the legalization of world politics, with a focus on international organizations, law and human rights, and the world environment. Expanding on an individual's role in IR, they also explore themes such as ethnicity and nationalism, global health and religion.
Broad in scope, this Handbook advances both academic and policy knowledge, theorising and empirically apprehending the current state of IR for students, scholars and researchers of International Relations, politics and foreign policy. Global think tanks and foreign policymakers will additionally find the insights presented here beneficial.
