Critical Approaches to International Relations

Critical Approaches to International Relations: Philosophical Foundations and Current Debates explores the achievements of a wide variety of critical approaches in International Relations theory, discusses the barrage of criticism and theoretical openings they levied against the IR orthodoxy, and suggests future potential critical IR scholarship to improve not only our explanatory possibilities, but also our ethical and practical horizons. In line with its broad objective, this book examines a number of influential approaches within critical IR scholarship, including core strands of critical IR theory such as Marxism, post-structuralism, Feminism, post-colonialism, and green politics, as well as some sub-school approaches such as Marxist theories of imperialism, dependency perspective, uneven and combined development and non-western IR theory.
