encyclopedia of international relations and global politics
The study of international relations has changed rapidly in recent years. One reason is the pace of major political and economic change the end of the Cold War and the fall of communism; the resurgence of nationalism; terrorism and other forms of fundamentalism; and of course, globalization. Another reason is the development of competing views of how international relations should be defined, conceived and studied. This is reflected in the ongoing debates on the fundamental paradigms most appropriate for understanding contemporary global politics, and the emergence of perspectives such as feminism, postmodernism, constructivism and critical theory.
The Encyclopedia of International Relations and Global Politics provides a unique reference source for students and academics, covering all aspects of global international relations and the contemporary discipline across IRs major subject divisions of diplomacy, military affairs, international political economy, and theory. Written by a distinguished group of international scholars, the encyclopedia is largely comprised of substantial entries of more than 1000 words, with 50 major entries of 5000 words on core contemporary topics. Entries are fully cross-referenced, and followed by a listing of complementary entries and a short bibliography for further reading. A comprehensive analytical index guides the user quickly to the required information.
A unique resource, the Encyclopedia of International Relations and Global Politics will be an extremely valuable addition to all libraries supporting teaching and research in the social sciences.
