Book Synopsis E. H. Carr and International Relations by : Charles Jones
Download or read book E. H. Carr and International Relations written by Charles Jones and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-10 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. H. Carr is widely remembered as an influential theorist of international relations. The scourge of inter-war idealists, he became the best-known Briton in a generation of predominantly American political realists. But Carr's realism differed greatly from that of his contemporaries: a vigorous advocate of social and economic planning and friend of the Soviet Union, he stood closer to Lenin than to Morgenthau. In this book Charles Jones makes sense of Carr's distinctive form of realism by examining his rhetoric and the reciprocal relationship between theory and policy-making in his writings. Close attention is paid to the period from 1936, when Carr left the Foreign Office, through his subsequent career as a one-man foreign ministry at Aberystwyth, the Ministry of Information, and above all The Times, culminating in the final frustration of his schemes for continued British world power in 1947.

Book Synopsis The New Twenty Years' Crisis by : Philip Cunliffe
Download or read book The New Twenty Years' Crisis written by Philip Cunliffe and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The liberal order is decaying. Will it survive, and if not, what will replace it? On the eightieth anniversary of the publication of E.H. Carr's The Twenty Years' Crisis, 1919-1939, Philip Cunliffe revisits this classic text, juxtaposing its claims with contemporary debates on the rise and fall of the liberal international order. The New Twenty Years' Crisis reveals that the liberal international order experienced a twenty-year cycle of decline from 1999 to 2019. In contrast to claims that the order has been undermined by authoritarian challengers, Cunliffe argues that the primary drivers of the crisis are internal. He shows that the heavily ideological international relations theory that has developed since the end of the Cold War is clouded by utopianism, replacing analysis with aspiration and expressing the interests of power rather than explaining its functioning. As a result, a growing tendency to discount political alternatives has made us less able to adapt to political change. In search of a solution, this book argues that breaking through the current impasse will require not only dissolving the new forms of utopianism, but also pushing past the fear that the twenty-first century will repeat the mistakes of the twentieth. Only then can we finally escape the twenty years' crisis. By reflecting on Carr's foundational work, The New Twenty Years' Crisis offers an opportunity to take stock of the current state of international order and international relations theory.

Book excerpt: Challenging the received notions of International Relations theory about a central tradition - Realism - Molloy demonstrates how a belief in a mode of theorization has distorted Realism, forcing the theory of power politics in IR into a paradigmatic strait-jacket that is simply inadequate and inappropriate to the task of encompassing its diversity.

Book Synopsis Realist Constructivism by : J. Samuel Barkin
Download or read book Realist Constructivism written by J. Samuel Barkin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Realism and constructivism, two key contemporary theoretical approaches to the study of international relations, are commonly taught as mutually exclusive ways of understanding the subject. Realist Constructivism explores the common ground between the two, and demonstrates that, rather than being in simple opposition, they have areas of both tension and overlap. There is indeed space to engage in a realist constructivism. But at the same time, there are important distinctions between them, and there remains a need for a constructivism that is not realist, and a realism that is not constructivist. Samuel Barkin argues more broadly for a different way of thinking about theories of international relations, that focuses on the corresponding elements within various approaches rather than on a small set of mutually exclusive paradigms. Realist Constructivism provides an interesting new way for scholars and students to think about international relations theory.
Book Synopsis E. H. Carr: Imperialism, War and Lessons for Post-Colonial IR by : Haro L Karkour
Download or read book E. H. Carr: Imperialism, War and Lessons for Post-Colonial IR written by Haro L Karkour and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights important parallels between Carr and three influential figures in the first wave of post-colonialism—DuBois, Césaire and Fanon—on the analysis of imperialism and the causes of war. Specifically, Carr’s analysis of imperialism and war parallels the first wave post-colonial thinkers in two respects. First, Carr’s work historically situates imperialism in the context of the social question in Western democracies. Second, Carr’s work provides an ideology critique to Enlightenment rationalism, which postulates that ‘reason could determine what [are] the universally valid moral laws’ and thus ‘by the voice of reason men could be persuaded both to save their own immoral souls and to move along the path of political enlightenment and progress’ (Carr 1984, 22 and 24). Carr’s ideology critique exposes the Enlightenment’s pretences of reason and universality as a deceptive plea that legitimates imperialism. These parallels, the book argues, reveal that Carr did not only recognise global hierarchy, but also theorised the role of what Julian Go refers to as the ‘episteme of empire’—that is, ‘the meanings and modalities of seeing and knowing that ... accompanied empire and made it possible in the first place’ (Go 2017, 19–20). Carr’s IR theory, in short, was much closer to post-colonial thinking than previously appreciated in the discipline.

Book Synopsis Political Thought and International Relations by : Duncan Bell
Download or read book Political Thought and International Relations written by Duncan Bell and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-12-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political realism dominated the field of International Relations during the Cold War. Since then, however, its fortunes have been mixed: pushed onto the backfoot during 1990s, it has in recent years retuned to the centre of scholarly debate. Despite its prominence in International Relations, however, realism plays only a marginal role in contemporary international political theory. It is often associated with a form of crude realpolitik that ignores the ethical dimensions of political life. The contributors to this book explore alternative understandings of realism, seeing it as a diverse and complex mode of political and ethical theorising rather than simply a "value-neutral" social scientific theory or the unreflective defence of the national interest. A number of the chapters offer critical interpretations of key figures in the canon of twentieth century realism, including Hans Morgenthau, E. H. Carr, and Reinhold Niebuhr. Others seek to widen the lens through which realism is usually viewed, exploring the writings of Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, and Leo Strauss. Finally, a number of the contributors engage with general issues in international political theory, including the meaning and value of pessimism, the relationship between power and ethics, the purpose of normative political theory, and what might constitute political "reality." Straddling International Relations and political theory, this book makes a significant contribution to both fields.

Book Synopsis In the Shadow of E. H. Carr by : David L. Pittner
Download or read book In the Shadow of E. H. Carr written by David L. Pittner and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This Paper examines E.H. Carr's influence on past and modern international relations study. Carr first problematized the field as the study of power, morality, war, peace, and order. Within those five themes, Carr identified natural forces that caused conflict in international politics. He sought to unify the disparate schools of realism and utopianism and forge a new, peaceful world order. He challenged future international relations theorists to do the same while staying grounded in reality, but never forgetting the role of free will in human affairs. The influence of E. H. Carr on the realist school is apparent. Then stay within his themes and examine the many issues that Carr outlined. Their focus was on the material forces of the world, and much of their argument went towards discounting the importance of free will. We examine Hans Morgenthau's realism, Kenneth Waltz' neorealism, and John Mearsheimer's offensive realism. The liberal schools of international relations study focused on discounting the utility of power and emphasizing the effects of international interdependence. They promote the merits of cooperation and look to institutions as a method for ensuring peace. We examine Normal Angel's liberal theory, Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye's neoliberal institutionalism, ad John Ikenberry's institutional theory. Alternative schools of international relations study have focused on the power of ideas. Alexander Wendt's constructivism promotes the power of ideas over that of material forces. Adam Watson's English school questioned the need for power politics if we could change our perceptions of sovereignty. Peter Haas' epistemic communities demonstrate the power of ideas to shape international policy. Appendix A contains a proposal to combine these various theories of international relations into two models: the Pillars of Security, and a Hierarchy of State Needs. These syncretic models look to bridge the gaps between the various schools within international relations, and provide a coherent picture of the material forces that shape international politics. These models further elaborate on the original questions and concepts of E. H. Carr"--Abstract.
Download or read book The Anglosphere written by Srdjan Vucetic and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglosphere refers to a community of English-speaking states, nations, and societies centered on Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which has profoundly influenced the direction of world history and fascinated countless observers. This book argues that the origins of the Anglosphere are racial. Drawing on theories of collective identity-formation and framing, the book develops a new framework for analyzing foreign policy, which it then evaluates in case studies related to fin-de-siècle imperialism (1894-1903), the ill-fated Pacific Pact (1950-1), the Suez crisis (1956), the Vietnam escalation (1964-5), and the run-up to the Iraq war (2002-3). Each case study highlights the contestations over state and empire, race and nation, and liberal internationalism and anti-Americanism, taking into consideration how they shaped international conflict and cooperation. In reconstructing the history of the Anglosphere, the book engages directly with the most recent debates in international relations scholarship and American foreign policy
