文档介绍：International Relations Theory for the
Twenty-First Century
International Relations (IR) theory has been the site of intense debate in recent years.
A decade ago it was still possible to divide the field between three main perspectives –
Realism, Liberalism and Marxism. Not only have these approaches evolved in new direc-
tions, they have been joined by a number of new ‘isms’ vying for attention, including
feminism and constructivism.
International Relations Theory for the Twenty-First Century is the prehensive
book to provide an overview of all the most important theories within international relations.
Written by an international team of experts in the field, the book covers both traditional
approaches, such as realism and liberal internationalism, as well as new developments such
as constructivism, poststructuralism and postcolonialism.
The book’prehensive coverage of IR theory makes it the ideal text for teachers
and students who want an up-to-date survey of the rich variety of theoretical work and for
readers with no prior exposure to the subject.
Martin Griffiths is Associate Professor in International Relations in the Department of
International Business and Asian Studies at Griffith University, Brisbane.
