This book discusses postpositivist theories foregrounding
postpositivism against the reigning realist and
positivist-pluralist orthodoxies. The book explicates seven
theories, not as disparate endeavours, but as developments linked
by a common thread that seeks to enunciate globalist emancipatory
goals for the theoretical field and the world that these theories
seek to change. It focuses on the following themes: feminism,
environmentalism or green theory, the English school, critical
theory, constructivism, postmodernism and postcolonialism.
Additionally, a separate chapter on globalization shows that while
mainstream (neo)realist international relations theories respond
hostilely to globalization and liberal-pluralist theories react
benignly to it, postpositivist theories positively welcome it. The
book offers a competent meta-theoretical gridwork, showing on which
side of the opposing disciplinary positions in the fourth debate
each of the seven theories are located. It is a comprehensive guide
to the postpositivist restructuring of the discipline of
international relations. This book will be of interest to
researchers and students of political science, international
relations, history, humanities and literature.
