This volume explores the work of Robert W. Cox across International
Relations, International Political Economy, and International
Historical Sociology. Robert W. Cox has been a key figure in
so-called critical approaches to world politics, contributing to
the inter-paradigm debate in IR, pioneering the Gramscian approach
to IPE, developing key insights into international institutions,
and the changing nature of capitalism and the state. His more
recent work on intercivilizational encounters and intersubjectivity
has been no less influential. This comprehensive collection
provides an entry-point into Cox's work across these themes of
history, theory, political economy, and civilizations, offering a
way for researchers and students to engage with Robert W. Cox's
rich legacy and deploy the many insights of his thought into
contemporary scholarship.This book will be of interest to
undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as academics
working within world politics. This book was originally published
as a special issue of the journal Globalizations.
This book provides an assessment of the legacy, challenges and
future directions of Critical Theory in the fields of International
Relations and Security Studies. This book provides 'first-hand'
interviews with some of the pioneers of Critical Theory in the
fields of International Relations Theory and Security Studies. The
interviews are combined innovatively with reflective essays to
create an engaging and accessible discussion of the legacy and
challenges of critical thinking. A unique forum that combines
first-person discussion and secondary commentary on a variety of
theoretical positions, the book explores in detail the interaction
between different theories and approaches, including
postcolonialism, feminism, and poststructuralism. Scholars from a
variety of theoretical backgrounds reflect on the strengths and
problems of critical theory, recasting the theoretical discussion
about critical theory in the study of world politics and examining
the future of the discipline. Both an introduction and an advanced
engagement with theoretical developments over the past three
decades, Critical Theory in International Relations and Security
Studies will be of interest to students and scholars of
International Politics, Security Studies and Philosophy.

Recognition has become a central thematic in contemporary
political, social, and international relations theory. Its
fundamentality to social life is apparent in that how we recognise
others and are recognized by them is essential to both the identity
of individual subjects and the relations between self and other in
ethical community. As such, recognition is properly basic to all
social interactions; between individuals, groups, local communities
and sovereign states. Without the foundational act of recognition,
relations can become unequal and antagonistic, leading to social
pathologies, denigration and even open conflict. This volume brings
together leading scholars of recognition theory in international
relations, sociology and politics, to discuss the potential for
recognition to understand the problem of conflict and the
possibilities in developing global ethical community. This book was
published as a special issue of Global Discourse.
This volume explores the conceptual, methodological and
praxeological aspects of dialectical analysis in world politics. As
dialectics has remained an under-theorised analytical tool in
international relations, this volume provides a critical resource
for those seeking to deploy dialectics in their own research by
showcasing its effectiveness for understanding and transforming
world politics. Contributions demonstrate a number of innovative
ways in which dialectical thinking can be of benefit to the study
of world politics by covering three thematic concerns: (i)
conceptual or meta-theoretical dimensions of dialectics; (ii)
methodological features and general principles of dialectical
approaches; and (iii) applications and/or case studies that deploy
a dialectical approach to world politics. Canvassing a diverse
range of dialectical approaches on key issues in world politics -
from global security to postcolonial resistances, from the
theoretical problems of reification and complexity, to the study of
the global futures and the intercultural historical expressions of
dialectics - Dialectics and World Politics offers key insights into
the social forces and contradictions that are generative of
transformation in world politics and yet routinely downplayed in
orthodox approaches to international relations. Each chapter
demonstrates how dialectics can be utilized more broadly in the
discipline and deployed in a critical fashion as part of an
emancipatory project. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Globalizations.
