National Role Conceptions in a New Millennium examines the
transformation of the international system through an examination
of the role conceptions adopted by the different global actors.
Advancing current role theory scholarship in International
Relations, the contributors take as their starting point the
question of how international actors are responding to the
reordering of the global system. They reflect on the rise of new
actors and the reemergence of old rivalries, the decline of
established norms, and the unleashing of internal political forces
such as nationalism and parochialism. They argue that changes in
the international system can impact how states define their roles
and act as a variable in both domestic and international role
contestations. Further, they examine the redefinition of roles of
countries and the international organizations that have been
central to the US and western dominated world order, including
major powers in the world (the US, Russia, China, Britain etc.) as
well as the European Union, NATO, and ASEAN. By looking at
international organizations, this text moves beyond the traditional
subjects of role theory in the study of international relations, to
examine how roles are contested in non-state actors. National Role
Conceptions in a New Millennium is the first attempt to delve into
the individual motivations of states to seek role transition. As
such, it is ideal for those teaching and studying both theory and
method in international relations and foreign policy analysis.
In this book Gordon Friedrichs offers a pioneering insight into the
implications of domestic polarization for U.S. foreign policymaking
and the exercise of America's international leadership role.
Through a mixed-method design and a rich dataset consisting of
polarization data, congressional debates and letters, as well as
co-sponsorship coalitions, Friedrichs applies role theory to
analyze three polarization effects for U.S. leadership role-taking:
a sorting effect, a partisan warfare, and an institutional
corrosion effect. These effects are deployed in two comparative
case studies: The Iran nuclear crisis as well as the negotiations
of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Friedrichs effectively
exposes the drivers of polarization and how this extreme divergence
has translated into partisan warfare as well as institutional
corrosion, affecting direction and performance of the U.S. global
leadership role. Through advancing role theory beyond other studies
and developing the concept of "diagonal contestation" as a
mechanism that allows us to locate polarization within a "two-level
role game" between agent and structure, U.S. Global Leadership Role
and Domestic Polarization is a rich resource for scholars of
international relations, foreign policy analysis, American
government and polarization.
