For introductory courses in International Relations.
Using a thematic approach, while covering a wide range of topics in international relations, this text offers students a new perspective of the discipline. This is a text that challenges the United States’ dominance of international relations literature, whilst examining the importance of alternative 'lenses' through which the development and evolution of international relations scholarship can be understood. Edmondson and Levy explore the development of a theory of knowledge within international relations scholarship and practice, and re-examine the structural norms of the international political system.
