Book Non Western Global Theories of International Relations

Download or read book Non Western Global Theories of International Relations written by Samantha Cooke and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to reposition international relations (IR) theory by providing insights into non-Western concepts and theories. By engaging with understandings of power, identity, the state and the individual from a range of states outside of the Western hemisphere, the contributors to this book introduce new methods for understanding aspects of IR in context considerate ways. Engagements with Western theories and cases highlight how we need to reposition traditional understandings to allow non-Western approaches to IR develop alongside and inform their Western counterparts. Moreover, the book reinforces the need to move beyond the traditionally used Western-centric lenses without removing them completely, instead it advocates a harmonisation between them to reduce generalisations across the local, state and regional levels.

Book Globalizing IR Theory

Download or read book Globalizing IR Theory written by Yaqing Qin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite attempts to redress the balance, international relations (IR) as a discipline is still dominated by Western theories. The contributors in this book explore the challenges of constructing an alternative, with a dialogue between global and local approaches. Drawing on scholars with backgrounds in the United States, Europe, Asia and South America, this volume attempts to critically engage with and reflect upon existing traditions of IR theory to produce a deeply pluralist approach. Traditions, cultures, histories and practices from around the world influence their respective theoretical understanding and in turn explain why the Western tradition of IR is insufficient. This book provides great insight for scholars of IR from around the world, looking for more diversity in IR theory.

Book Beyond the Ivory Tower

Download or read book Beyond the Ivory Tower written by Joseph Lepgold and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2001-11-22 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gap between academics and practitioners in international relations has widened in recent years, according to the authors of this book. Many international relations scholars no longer try to reach beyond the ivory tower and many policymakers disdain international relations scholarship as arcane and irrelevant. Joseph Lepgold and Miroslav Nincic demonstrate how good international relations theory can inform policy choices. Globalization, ethnic conflict, and ecological threats have created a new set of issues that challenge policymakers, and cutting-edge scholarship can contribute a great deal to the diagnosis and handling of potentially explosive situations.
