International Political Theory (IPT) focuses on the point where two
fields of study meet - International Relations and Political
Theory. It takes from the former a central concern with the
'international' broadly defined; from the latter it takes a broadly
normative identity. IPT studies the 'ought' questions that have
been ignored or side-lined by the modern study of International
Relations and the 'international' dimension that Political Theory
has in the past neglected. A central proposition of IPT is that the
'domestic' and the 'international' cannot be treated as
self-contained spheres, although this does not preclude states and
the states-system from being regarded by some practitioners of IPT
as central points of reference. This Handbook provides an
authoritative account of the issues, debates, and perspectives in
the field, guided by two basic questions concerning its purposes
and methods of inquiry. First, how does IPT connect with real world
politics? In particular, how does it engage with real world
problems, and position itself in relation to the practices of real
world politics? And second, following on from this, what is the
relationship between IPT and empirical research in international
relations? This Handbook showcases the distinctive and valuable
contribution of normative inquiry not just for its own sake but
also in addressing real world problems. The Oxford Handbooks of
International Relations is a twelve-volume set of reference books
offering authoritative and innovative engagements with the
principal sub-fields of International Relations. The series as a
whole is under the General Editorship of Christian Reus-Smit of the
University of Queensland and Duncan Snidal of the University of
Oxford, with each volume edited by a distinguished pair of
specialists in their respective fields. The series both surveys the
broad terrain of International Relations scholarship and reshapes
it, pushing each sub-field in challenging new directions. Following
the example of the original Reus-Smit and Snidal The Oxford
Handbook of International Relations, each volume is organized
around a strong central thematic by a pair of scholars drawn from
alternative perspectives, reading its sub-field in an entirely new
way, and pushing scholarship in challenging new directions.
