From International Relations to World Civilizations
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 Coxs work across these themes of history, theory, political economy, and civilizations, offering a way for researchers and students to engage with Robert W. Coxs rich legacy and deploy the many insights of his thought into contemporary scholarship.
This volume 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 Globalizations.

Rethinking Globalizations
Edited by Barry K. Gills, University of Helsinki, Finland and
Kevin Gray, University of Sussex, UK.
This series is designed to break new ground in the literature on globalization and its academic and popular understanding. Rather than perpetuating or simply reacting to the economic understanding of globalization, this series seeks to capture the term and broaden its meaning to encompass a wide range of issues and disciplines and convey a sense of alternative possibilities for the future.
