The most comprehensive and inclusive survey and synthesis available on the subject, Contending Theories of International Relations makes the rich, ever-evolving complexity of IR theories accessible and fascinating for undergraduates and graduate students. Widely acclaimed for its vast scope, engaging writing style, and abundant citation of reference sources, the Fifth Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the various paradigmatic and theoretical debates that have emerged since the end of the Cold War. It incorporates the most significant current writings on all areas of theory from neorealism, neoliberal theory, postmodernism, and contructivism to globalization, ethnic conflict, international terrorism, and new approaches to deterrence amidst proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction technologies. *UPDATED! Theories of structuralism and institutionalism; anarchy, cooperation and integration; structure-agent relationships within and among levels of analysis; recent developments in decision making, crisis and crisis management theories; the continuing debate about state, substate, and nonstate actors in an increasingly pluralist world of alliances, regions, and international institutions. *Interdisciplinary approach: Drawing from traditional, behavioral-scientific, and post-behavioral fields, as well as normative theory, this text gives students a comprehensive and well-rounded introduction to IR theory. *Ample citation of scholarly sources: Proof of the text's rigorous scholarship, the ample citations insure that students know the important works in the field and can go to the original sources for further exploration.
