Handbook of International Relations Zusammenfassung

Handbook of International Relations Walter Carlsnaes

NEW IN PAPERBACK FEBRUARY 2005!

`The most systematic and wide-ranging survey of the multi-faceted field of International Relations yet produced. It is sure to become a standard reference work and teaching text, and is unlikely to be superseded at any time in the near future. It should be considered as essential reading' - International Affairs

The Handbook of International Relations, published 2002 in hardback, quickly established itself as the benchmark volume, providing a state-of-the-art review and indispensable guide to the study of international relations. It is now released in paperback, in order to be accessible to students in classroom use.

Divided into three parts, the volume reviews both the historical, philosophical, analytical and normative roots to the discipline and the key contemporary topics of research and debate today.

The first part introduces the major approaches within the field and unpacks many of the on-going debates within the discipline including those between rationalist and constructivist approaches. The second part moves on to explore the key concepts and contextual factors important to the subject from concepts like the state and power, to international and transnational actors, debates around globalization, and contending feminist perspectives.

The final part reviews a number of the key substantive issues in international relations and is designed to complement the analytical tools and perspectives presented in Parts I and II. Examples of the many topics included are: foreign policy; war and peace; security; nationalism and ethnicity; finance; trade; development; the environment; and human rights.

`The Handbook of International Relations will establish itself as the most authoritative and convenient source for a comprehensive and sophisticated overview of a vibrant field of scholarship.

All students of international relations will want to add this volume to their basic library' - Peter Katzenstein, Cornell University

`This is a collection that anyone in IR will want to have in their library, as it represents a superb overview of the main debates and a cutting-edge survey of the discipline. The editors have brought together many of the leading scholars in the world to write critical reviews of the

current state of IR, and together these result in a handbook that is genuinely indispensable' - Steve Smith, University of Wales, Aberystwyth

`With the publication of this Handbook IR has come of age, establishing itself as truly independent academic discipline. It demonstrates persuasively the rich research agenda of IR and its remarkable achievements in terms of conceptual clarity, theoretical ingenuity, and a broad variety of valid findings. The Handbook will become an indispensable and inspiring source for academic IR teaching, and it will constitute a benchmark in the pursuit of IR theory and research. Its editors and contributors have admirably risen to the challenge and performed a great feat' - Volker Rittberger, University of Tubingen

`The most systematic and wide-ranging survey of the multi-faceted field of International Relations yet produced.
