In this thought-provoking book, Bertrand Badie argues that the
traditional paradigms of international relations are no longer
sustainable, and that ignorance of these shifting systems and of
alternative models is a major source of contemporary international
conflict and disorder. Through a clear examination of the
political, historical and social context, Badie illuminates the
challenges and possibilities of an 'intersocial' and multilateral
approach to international relations. Badie lays the foundations for
understanding by first tracing the history of traditional
Eurocentric international relations, from the Westphalian Peace of
the seventeenth century through to the power politics of the
mid-twentieth century, and discussing the processes, such as
decolonisation, by which this system has been destabilised.
Chapters consider issues such as the changing powers and identity
of the state, regionalism, and war and conflict, demonstrating the
impact of globalisation and the growing influence of both
non-Western and non-state actors in the international arena and
highlighting the need for a more widespread understanding of these
realities. Rethinking International Relations will be essential
reading for all scholars and students of international relations
and political science. Its insights will also prove useful to
policymakers and other actors involved in diplomatic relations and
international public policy.
