The 1980s was a decade of upheaval unprecedented since the
conclusion of World War Two. In 1980 superpower detente had been
abandoned and there was no sign of an end to the competition and
conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. By the end
of the decade, however, the Cold War was officially declared to
have ended. The suddeness and rapidity of change took most
observers by surprise, and led many to reassess their assumptions
about global politics. This volume brings together a number of
scholars who review their own ideas alongside the writing of others
to discuss how well their International Relations theories have
survived the collapse of the Cold War. It asks a number of
questions about how the Cold War should be conceptualised: why
theorists overlooked the potential for change in Eastern Europe;
why the Soviet Union shifted its foreign policy; the contribution
of radical and feminist theory; and the future of International
Relations theory itself.
