International Relations Theories by Tim Dunne offers a thorough and up-to-date exploration of international relations and their theories. This study book is aimed at students and professionals who want to gain insight into both classical and emerging approaches within international relations. The book has been revised for 2024 and underscores the relevance of global IR with expert contributions from leading researchers.
Description
This edition covers a wide range of international relations theories, from dominant schools such as realism and liberalism to less well-represented perspectives such as postcolonialism and environmental terminology. The restructuring highlights the importance of a global approach to international relations and includes new chapters on classical and critical theories, as well as Marxist views.
