We propose a sixth edition of our textbook that, since it was first
published in 1987, has influenced two generations of IR scholars
and practitioners. After four decades of teaching, we have learned
to communicate difficult or complex ideas, concepts, and theories
succinctly, and without watering down their content. Addressing the
complexities of IR theory in particular, our book is written in
plain language readily understood by both graduate and
undergraduate audiences, as well as English-speaking and
English-as-second-language (ESL) international students. Over the
years, IR doctoral students—many of whom are now professors or
serve in policy-related positions, have approached us at
conferences to confide that they found our book helpful in
preparing for their doctoral exams. We do not present “laundry
lists” of IR theories one finds in other books. By contrast, we
employ a framework or taxonomy of alternative images—or world
views—that underlie present-day IR theory (i.e., realism,
liberalism, economic structuralism, and the English School). Driven
by one or another of these images, theorists also wear different
interpretive lenses that profoundly influence their theorizing
(positivism, feminism and those related to phenomenological
understandings—post-modernism, critical theory, and
constructivism). Both images and interpretive lenses have their
place in our IR theory framework. This taxonomy weaves or
integrates diverse and cross-cutting theoretical threads or strands
into a meaningful “whole cloth” approach not found in other
volumes
