Book Description
This book provides students with a fresh overview of the main theories of the state found in International Relations. The author introduces readers to state theory, argues that existing theories of the state are limited, and proposes a new framework. In doing so, he surveys realist, liberal, Marxist, constructivist and neo-Weberian approaches to the state. The book offers readers a unique introduction to state theory in International Relations, and will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology and politics, as well as International Relations.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Hobson’s interpretation of the major approaches to international relations, specifically the ways in which each approaches the concept of the “state,” is fascinating and compelling. . . . This work is of extreme importance primarily for its novel and skilled interpretation of the broad contours of international relations scholarship.” The Virginia Quarterly Review
