Inspired by recent work in evolutionary, developmental, and systems
biology, Systems, Relations, and the Structures of International
Societies sketches a robust conception of systems that grounds a
new conception of levels (of organization, not merely
analysis). Understanding international systems as multi-level
multi-actor complex adaptive systems allows explanations of
important features of the world that are inaccessible to dominant
causal and rationalist explanatory strategies. It also develops a
comprehensive critique of IR's dominant conception of systems and
structures (narrow, rigid, and unfruitful); presents a novel
conception of the interrelationship of the social production of
continuities and the social production of change; and sketches
models of spatio-political structure that cast new light on the
development of international systems, including a distinctive
account of the nature of globalization.
