  • Brings together the most influential scholars in International Relations to provide diverse coverage of the major theories and arguments
  • Includes coverage of some of the more overlooked alternative theories, including postcolonialism and environmentalism
  • Each chapter employs a case study that bridges theory and practice, and shows how theory can be used to explain real-world problems and dilemmas
  • End-of-chapter and case study questions encourage students to analyse and evaluate the different theories for themselves
  • Spotlights on key books or articles introduce students to prominent works in the field, encouraging wider reading

New to this Edition:

  • Completely revised chapter on postcolonialism written by new contributor, Shampa Biswas.
  • New end-of-chapter questions tied to the chapter case studies.
  • New or updated case studies throughout, including a brand new case study on Iran and nuclear negotiations.
  • Chapter on normative international relations theory moved to later in the book to better map to how modules are taught.

  
Bringing together the most influential scholars in the field, the fourth edition of this best-selling text provides unrivalled coverage of International Relations theories and arguments.

Dunne, Kurki and Smith explore the full spectrum of theoretical perspectives and debates, ranging from the historically dominant traditions of realism, liberalism, and Marxism to postcolonialism and green theory. 

Each chapter is dedicated to a particular theory and features a case study that bridges theory and practice, and shows how theory can be used to explain real-world political dilemmas. Spotlights on key books and articles encourage readers to go beyond the textbook and explore important works in the field, and new case study questions encourage analytical thinking and help readers understand the value of applying theory to concrete political problems. 

The text is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre, which provides additional resources for both lecturers and students.
