Bringing together the most influential scholars in the field, Inteational Relations Theories:Discipline and Diversity provides unrivalled coverage of inteational relations theories and arguments.

Each chapter is dedicated to a particular theory and features a case study that bridges theory and practice, showing how theory can be used to explain real world political dilemmas. Spotlights on key books and articles encourage readers to go beyond the textbook and explore important works in the field, and new case study questions encourage analytical thinking and help readers understand the value of applying theory to concrete political problems.
