文档介绍：International Relations
Theory
The third edition of this innovative textbook introduces students to the main theories
in international relations. It explains and analyzes each theory, allowing students
to understand and critically engage with the myths and assumptions behind them.
Each theory is illustrated using the example of a popular film.
Key features of this textbook include:
• discussion of all the main theories: realism and neo-realism, idealism and
neo-idealism, liberalism, constructivism, postmodernism, gender, globalization
and environmentalism
• a new chapter on environmentalism, climate change and Al Gore’s An
Inconvenient Truth including use of the film WALL-E
• innovative use of narratives from films with which students will be familiar:
Lord of the Flies, Independence Day, Wag the Dog, Fatal Attraction, The Truman
Show, East is East, Memento and WALL-E
• an accessible and exciting writing style which is well illustrated with film stills
in each chapter, boxed key concepts and guides to further reading.
This breakthrough textbook has been designed to unravel plexities of
international relations theory in a way that gives students a clearer idea of how the
theories work, and of the myths associated with them.
