Political Thought and International Relations: Variations on

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bell, Duncan, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, ong>Politicalong> realism dominated the study of ong>internationalong> ong>relationsong> during the Cold War. Since then, however, its fortunes have been mixed: pushed onto the backfoot during s, it has in recent years retuned to the centre of scholarly debate in ong>internationalong> ong>relationsong>. Yet despite its significance in ong>internationalong> ong>relationsong> theory, realism plays little role in contemporary ong>internationalong> ong>politicalong> theory. It is often associated with a form of crude realpolitik that ignores the role of ethical considerations in ong>politicalong> life. This book explores an alternative understong>andong>ing of realism. The contributors view realism chiefly as a diverse ong>andong> complex mode of ong>politicalong> ong>andong> ethical theorising rather than either a value-neutral branch of social science or the unreflective defence of the national interest. They analyse a variety of historical ong>andong> philosophical themes, probing the potential ong>andong> the pathologies of realist ong>thoughtong>. A number of the chapters offer critical interpretations of key figures in the canon of twentieth century realism, including Hans Morgenthau, E. H. Carr, ong>andong> Reinhold Niebuhr. Others seek to widen the lens through which realism is usually viewed, exploring the writings of Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, ong>andong> Leo Strauss. Finally, a number of the contributors engage with general issues in ong>politicalong> theory, including the meaning ong>andong> value of pessimism, the ong>relationsong>hip between power ong>andong> ethics, the role of normative ong>politicalong> theory, ong>andong> what might constitute ong>politicalong> 'reality.' Straddling ong>internationalong> ong>relationsong> ong>andong> ong>politicalong> theory, this book makes a significant contribution to both fields.

The Man Question in International Relations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zalewski, Marysia / Parpart, Jane L. / *, Editor, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, ong>Internationalong> ong>relationsong> is still very much a man's field. Questioning ong>andong> problematizing the subjecthood of men, this book of twelve original essays examines the various ways in which masculinities are implicated in ong>internationalong> ong>relationsong> theories ong>andong> practices. The contributors argue that if the subject of ong>internationalong> ong>relationsong> is constructed around men ong>andong> masculinity, then perhaps destabilizing the subject of "man" will help destabilize the whole field in ways that "adding women ong>andong> stirring" has not. The feminist modern project of bringing attention to women can paradoxically highlight the fluidity of the subject of woman rather than reveal the solidity of her position, however illusory.

This book offers a detailed record of that progress, as well as its meaning for our times ong>andong> those ahead. Taking a historical, theoretical, ong>andong> case-study approach, John Gibson provides the reader with a broad understong>andong>ing of how ong>internationalong> organizations evolved to serve the interests of their member states, how the constitutional charters of organizations provide a coherent statement of goals ong>andong> means to goals, ong>andong> how these organizations are assuming increasing authority in the ong>internationalong> system.

Feminist Interp. Wollstonecraft-PR

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Falco, Maria J., PUBLISHER: Penn State University Press, Essays in honor of the bicentennial of the publication of Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman -- a revolutionary work that argued on behalf of the ong>politicalong>, economic, ong>andong> social equality of women. Combining the liberalism of Locke ong>andong> the "civic humanism" of Republicanism, Mary Wollstonecraft explored the need of women for coed ong>andong> equal education with men, economic independence whether married or not, ong>andong> representation as citizens in the halls of government. In doing so, she foreshadowed ong>andong> surpassed her much better known successor, John Stuart Mill. Ten feminist scholars prominent in the fields of ong>politicalong> philosophy, constitutional ong>andong> ong>internationalong> law, rhetoric, literature, ong>andong> psychology argue here that Wollstonecraft, by reason of the scope ong>andong> complexity of her ong>thoughtong>, belongs in the "canon" of ong>politicalong> philosophers along with Rousseau ong>andong> Burke, her contemporaries, both of whom she strenuously engaged in ong>politicalong> debate. These essays explore the many aspects of her ong>thoughtong> that resound so tellingly to the modern woman, including her ground-breaking attempt to be completely self-sufficient.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Payne, Richard J., PUBLISHER: Greenwood Press, The recent ong>andong> ongoing crises in the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, Central America, ong>andong> southern Africa have been ong>andong> continue to be approached in very different ways by the United States ong>andong> its West European allies. Richard J. Payne shows how the many future challenges to the strategic alliance of the U.S. ong>andong> the NATO countries will have to be adapted to a new ong>andong> less confrontational world, emphasizing the ong>internationalong> economic situation over ong>politicalong> or ideological factors. Payne maintains that despite years of divergent views on how to hong>andong>le Third World trouble spots, strains within the Western Alliance can be alleviated in the future by diplomatic ong>andong> cooperative means. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the underlying tensions, ong>andong> cooperation, between the United States ong>andong> Western Europe in their approaches to the Soviet Union, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Iran-Iraq War ong>andong> Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the Nicaraguan Song>andong>inistas, ong>andong> the struggle for ideological ong>andong> ong>politicalong> control of southwestern Africa. American ong>andong> European strategies ong>andong> interests in the Third World greatly affected the broader issues of detente, Eastern-Western European ong>relationsong>, America's leadership abilities, ong>andong> ultimately NATO itself. The lessening of ideological confrontations between Moscow ong>andong> Washington, Payne affirms, was followed by the revolutionary changes in Eastern Europe. This volume will be used in courses on ong>internationalong> ong>relationsong>, American foreign policy, world politics, Third World politics, global issues, ong>andong> West European politics. It will also be of great value to ong>politicalong> scientists ong>andong> policymakers.
