While not neglecting the significant developments of the last 50 years, this book has a broad historical and conceptual range. It provides students with a historical analysis of the origins, development and early networks of IR, and an exposition of the diverse ways in which modern "international society" has been defined and interpreted.

Book Synopsis The Structure of International Society by : Geoffrey Stern
Download or read book The Structure of International Society written by Geoffrey Stern and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1995 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook covers the basic issues, concepts and debates of international relations. It tackles issues of internationalism from historical, sociological and economic perspectives. The volume includes historical analysis of the origins, development and early networks of international relations, as well as discussion of the definition and interpretation of modern international society. Both modern and pre-modern systems are explored in analysis that includes, amongst others, Chinese, Indian, Roman and Islamic systems, as well as the Italian city states, Vienna and Versailles. In the light of the recent increase of sovereign states and the geographical spread of the concept of sovereignty, the political and legal implications of sovereignty on internationalism are examined. This leads to an analysis of international political economy, and presents possibilities for the future transformation of international structures and systems.

Book Synopsis Modern Subjectivities in World Society by : Dietrich Jung
Download or read book Modern Subjectivities in World Society written by Dietrich Jung and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together theories of world society with poststructuralist and postcolonial work on modern subjectivity to understand the universalising and particularising processes of globalisation. It addresses a theoretical void in global studies by attending to the co-constituted process through which modern subjectivities and global processes emerge and interact. The editors outline a key problem in global studies, which is a lack of engagement between the local/particular/individual and the ‘universalising’ processes in which they are situated. The volume deals with this concern with contributions from historical sociologists, poststructuralist and postcolonial scholars and by focusing in the Middle East, religion in global modernity and non-human subjectivities.
Download or read book Regions and Powers written by Barry Buzan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-04 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops the idea that since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system. Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS Europe, East Asia, EU Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world.
Book Synopsis Systems, Relations, and the Structures of International Societies by : Jack Donnelly
Download or read book Systems, Relations, and the Structures of International Societies written by Jack Donnelly and published by . This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by recent work in evolutionary, developmental, and systems biology, Systems, Relations, and the Structures of International Societies sketches a robust conception of systems that grounds a new conception of levels (of organization, not merely analysis). Understanding international systems as multi-level multi-actor complex adaptive systems allows explanations of important features of the world that are inaccessible to dominant causal and rationalist explanatory strategies. It also develops a comprehensive critique of IR's dominant conception of systems and structures (narrow, rigid, and unfruitful); presents a novel conception of the interrelationship of the social production of continuities and the social production of change; and sketches models of spatio-political structure that cast new light on the development of international systems, including a distinctive account of the nature of globalization.

Book Synopsis International Organization in the Anarchical Society by : Tonny Brems Knudsen
Download or read book International Organization in the Anarchical Society written by Tonny Brems Knudsen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes up one of the key theoretical challenges in the English School’s conceptual framework, namely the nature of the institutions of international society. It theorizes their nature through an analysis of the relationship of primary and secondary levels of institutional formation, so far largely ignored in English School theorizing, and provides case studies to illuminate the theory. Hitherto, the School has largely failed to study secondary institutions such as international organizations and regimes as autonomous objects of analysis, seeing them as mere materializations of primary institutions. Building on legal and constructivist arguments about the constitutive character of institutions, it demonstrates how primary institutions frame secondary organizations and regimes, but also how secondary institutions construct agencies with capacities that impinge upon and can change primary institutions. Based on legal and constructivist ideas, it develops a theoretical model that sees primary and secondary institutions as shared understandings enmeshed in observable historical processes of constitution, reproduction and regulation.

Book Synopsis International Society by : Cornelia Navari
Download or read book International Society written by Cornelia Navari and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to, and analysis of, the English School’s views on International Relations as they developed from the somewhat vague state/society distinction to the present focus on foundation institutions, regional organisation and the globalization of international society. It focuses on key thinkers and texts and turning points and moves our understanding of the English School beyond the past work of the British Committee to the more recent work of Barry Buzan et. al. to offer a comprehensive overview and interrogation from the leading lights of this arm of International Relations thought. This volume is one of the cornerstones of the EISA sponsored Trends in European IR Theory series complementing the volumes on International Political Theory, Liberalism, Realism, International Political Economy, the post-positivist tradition, and Feminism published for the centenary of IR as a discipline.
Book Synopsis International Relations of East Asia by : Xiaoming Huang
Download or read book International Relations of East Asia written by Xiaoming Huang and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Asia's rapidly changing role in international security, the global economy, development and global governance are expertly accounted for in this much-needed, state-of-the-art text. Xiaoming Huang offers an engaging and informed account of the key concepts, issues and actors working in this area. Ranging from the region's history, to culture and a comparative assessment of the region's states, this text is informed throughout by a compelling theoretical framework. In so doing, it unpicks the often complex relationships both at the domestic level and externally. Only with this understanding is it possible to make sense of the region's complex relationships both internally and externally. Structured around key concepts in international relations of war and peace, economic development and increased contemporary security threats, this text offers an empirically-rich, engaging account of the changing fortunes of East Asia.
Book Synopsis Social Theory of International Politics by : Alexander Wendt
Download or read book Social Theory of International Politics written by Alexander Wendt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-10-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon philosophy and social theory, Social Theory of International Politics develops a theory of the international system as a social construction. Alexander Wendt clarifies the central claims of the constructivist approach, presenting a structural and idealist worldview which contrasts with the individualism and materialism which underpins much mainstream international relations theory. He builds a cultural theory of international politics, which takes whether states view each other as enemies, rivals or friends as a fundamental determinant. Wendt characterises these roles as 'cultures of anarchy', described as Hobbesian, Lockean and Kantian respectively. These cultures are shared ideas which help shape state interests and capabilities, and generate tendencies in the international system. The book describes four factors which can drive structural change from one culture to another - interdependence, common fate, homogenization, and self-restraint - and examines the effects of capitalism and democracy in the emergence of a Kantian culture in the West.
