Summary

For decades, the starting point of international relations (IR) scholars was the anarchic nature of international politics. Recent examples of political and financial turmoil, however, have shown the inadequacies of existing theoretical frameworks. This ground-breaking book brings leading IR scholars together in order to move the discipline in a new direction.
