International Relations Scholarship Around the World Summary

International Relations Scholarship Around the World by Arlene B. Tickner

It has become widely accepted that the discipline of International Relations (IR) is ironically not "international" at all. IR scholars are part of a global discipline with a single, shared object of study - the world, and yet theorizing gravitates around a number of concepts that have been conceived solely in the United States.

The purpose of this book is to re-balance this "western bias" by examining the ways in which IR has evolved and is practiced around the world. The fifteen case studies offer fresh insights into the political and socioeconomic environments that characterize diverse geocultural sites and the ways in which these traits inform and condition scholarly activity in International Relations.

By bringing together scholars living and working across the globe Tickner and Wver provide the most comprehensive analysis of IR ever published.

It is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about the history, development and future of international relations.

International Relations Scholarship Around the World Reviews

"This is an excellent collection of reviews of the state of the subject of International Relations in 16 areas of the world. As such it is the most comprehensive survey of how international relations is studied around the world. Usually, the subject of International Relations is studied from within a dominant framework, based on the theories and approaches found in the United States; this book is the first detailed attempt to look at how the rest of the world thinks about international relations. This incredibly important collection of essays paints a sophisticated picture of the construction of the discipline of International relations. The 16 case studies are set in a context by excellent introductory and concluding chapters. Wver and Tickner have produced the best review of how international relations is studied throughout the world. This is an invaluable book for anyone interested in the discipline of International Relations, how it is dominated by a US literature, and what alternatives exist in other parts of the world for understanding contemporary world politics." - Professor Steve Smith, Vice-Chancellor, University of Exeter, UK

For a discipline that calls itself international, it is remarkable how little attention has been paid by International Relations to scholarship outside the United States and Europe. Long overdue, this important book offers the first comprehensive view of the IR discipline on a global scale. The thoughtful and carefully considered case studies, written by scholars, all of whom live in the areas about which they write, ask what is the meaning of "theory" and the "international" in the various locales from which they speak. This book is essential reading for all IR scholars and their students who aspire to a truly global perspective on our discipline. - J. Ann Tickner, Professor of International Relations, University of Southern California, USA
