Are theoretical tools nothing but political weapons? How can the
two be distinguished from each other? What is the ideological role
of theories like liberalism, neoliberalism or democratic theory?
And how can we study the theories of actors from outside the
academic world? This book examines these and related questions at
the nexus of theory and ideology in International Relations. The
current crisis of politics made it abundantly clear that theory is
not merely an impartial and neutral academic tool, but instead is
implicated in political struggles. However, it is also clear that
it is insufficient to view theory merely as a political weapon.
This book brings together contributions from a number of different
scholarly perspectives to engage with these problems. The
contributors, drawn from various fields of International Relations
and Political Science, cast new light on the ever-problematic
relationship between theory and ideology. They analyse the
ideological underpinnings of existing academic theories and examine
the theories of non-academic actors such as staff members of
international organisations, Ecovillagers and liberal politicians.
This edited volume is a must-read for all those interested in the
contemporary political crisis and its relation to theories of
International Relations.
