Going beyond Parochialism and Fragmentation in the Study of International Relations

Going beyond Parochialism and Fragmentation in the Study of International Relations

International Relations (IR) as a discipline is a western dominated enterprise. This has led to calls to broaden the scope and vision of the discipline by embracing a wider range of histories experiences and theoretical perspectives – particularly those outside the Anglo-American core of the West. The ongoing ‘broadening IR projects’ – be they ‘non-Western IR’ ‘post-Western IR’ or ‘Global IR’ – are making contributions in this regard. However some careful thinking is needed here in that these attempts could also lead to a national or regional ‘inwardness’ that works to reproduce the very parochialism that is being challenged. The main intellectual concerns of this edited volume are problematising Western parochialism in IR; giving theoretical and epistemological substance to pluralism in the field of IR based on both Western and non-Western thoughts and experiences; and working out ways to move the discipline of IR one step closer to a dialogic community. A key issue that cuts across all contributions in the volume is to go beyond both parochialism and fragmentation in international studies. In order to address the manifold and contested implications of pluralism in in the field of IR the volume draws on the wealth of experience and research of prominent and emerging IR scholars whose contributions make up the work with a mixture of theoretical analysis and case studies. This book will appeal to scholars and students interested in Global IR and promoting dialogue in a pluralist IR. | Going beyond Parochialism and Fragmentation in the Study of International Relations

Peace and Security in Indo-Pacific Asia IR Perspectives in Context

Peace and Security in Indo-Pacific Asia IR Perspectives in Context

Peace and Security in Indo-Pacific Asia is for the informed the interested and the engaged. Sorpong Peou brings together the skills of the pedagogue with the knowledge of the scholar. Dr. David Dewitt University Professor Emeritus Senior Scholar York University Toronto Canada. Peou’s excellent book provides both the lay reader and the specialist with six important theoretical frameworks which should provide the basis for better appreciation of what a security community in Indo-Pacific Asia means in our world today. There are very few scholars who understand the region like Peou. Dr. W. Andy Knight Professor of Political Science the University of Alberta Canada. Sorpong Peou’s extraordinary breadth of knowledge of both International Relations theory and the key trends in Indo-Pacific Asia shines through in this authoritative analysis. Dr. Richard Stubbs Professor of Political Science McMaster University Canada. A pedagogical approach of the textbook that is appreciated is how the author respectfully engages with the theories of IR and is not pushing an agenda of denouncing some theories and trying to persuade the reader of others. We live in such polarizing times that it is truly refreshing to read scholarly work that avoids sensationalistic attacks on theories that have been debated for decades. Each theory in this manuscript is explored on its own terms and the reader is encouraged to figure out where they stand on these enduring debates in the context of Indo-Pacific security. The approach will lead to compelling classroom discussions of the theories and the politics of the region. This book is a must-read for any student or observer of security trends in the region.

Withdrawal from Immanuel Kant and International Relations The Global Unlimited

Withdrawal from Immanuel Kant and International Relations The Global Unlimited

This book shows how the flawed orientation forming Immanuel Kant’s philosophical project is the same from which the discipline of International Relations (IR) becomes possible and appears necessary. Tracing how core problems in Kant’s thought are inescapably reproduced in IR this book demonstrates that constructive critique of IR is impossible through mere challenge to its Kantian traditions. It argues that confrontation with the Kantian character of IR demands fundamental withdrawal from their shared aims. Investigating the global limits inherent to epistemological and ontological commitments of Kant’s writings and IR this interdisciplinary study interrogates the racism sexism coloniality white male privilege and anthropocentricism of both as sites from which such withdrawal may be initiated. Following queer and feminist examinations of how Kant and IR discipline a joint orientation through sex gender and sexuality it indicates how withdrawal is possible. And considering how Anishinaabe legal tradition opens freedom beyond the restricting horizons of Kant and IR this book contemplates withdrawal from both as leading to a global unlimited. An essential text for advanced undergraduate and graduate studies this book will also be of strong interest to those studying the thinking and writings of Kant neo- and post-Kantian scholarship and IR theory. | Withdrawal from Immanuel Kant and International Relations The Global Unlimited

Peace in International Relations

Peace in International Relations

This updated and revised second edition examines the conceptualisation and evolution of peace in International Relations (IR) theory. The book examines the concept of peace and its usage in the main theoretical debates in IR including realism liberalism constructivism critical theory and post-structuralism as well as in the more direct debates on peace and conflict studies. It explores themes relating to culture development agency and structure not just in terms of representations of IR and of peace but in terms of the discipline of IR itself. The work also specifically explores the recent mantras associated with liberal and neoliberal versions of peace which appear to have become foundational for much of the mainstream literature and for doctrines for peace and development in the policy world. Analysing war has often led to the dominance – and mitigation – of violence as a basic assumption in and response to the problems of IR. This study aims to redress this negative balance by arguing that the discipline offers a rich basis for the study of peace which has advanced significantly over the last century or so. It also proposes innovative theoretical dimensions of the study of peace with new chapters discussing post-colonial and digital developments. This book will be of great interest to students of peace and conflict studies politics and IR.

China and International Theory The Balance of Relationships

China and International Theory The Balance of Relationships

Major IR theories which stress that actors will inevitably only seek to enhance their own interests tend to contrive binaries of self and other and ‘inside’ and ‘outside’. By contrast this book recognizes the general need of all to relate which they do through various imagined resemblances between them. The authors of this book therefore propose the ‘balance of relationships’ (BoR) as a new international relations theory to transcend binary ways of thinking. BoR theory differs from mainstream IR theories owing to two key differences in its epistemological position. Firstly the theory explains why and how states as socially-interrelated actors inescapably pursue a strategy of self-restraint in order to join a network of stable and long-term relationships. Secondly owing to its focus on explaining bilateral relations BoR theory bypasses rule-based governance. By positing ‘relationality’ as a key concept of Chinese international relations this book shows that BoR can also serve as an important concept in the theorization of international relations more broadly. The rising interest in developing a Chinese school of IR means the BoR theory will draw attention from students of IR theory comparative foreign policy Chinese foreign policy East Asia cultural studies post-Western IR post-colonial studies and civilizational politics. | China and International Theory The Balance of Relationships

Routledge Handbook of International Relations in the Middle East

Routledge Handbook of International Relations in the Middle East

This handbook examines the regional and international dynamics of the Middle East. It challenges the state society dichotomy to make sense of decision-making and behavior by ruling regimes. The 33 chapter authors include the world’s leading scholars of the Middle East and International Relations (IR) in order to make sense of the region. This synthesis of area studies expertise and IR theory provides a unique and rigorous account of the region’s current dynamics which have reached a crisis point since the beginning of the Arab Spring. The Middle East has been characterized by volatility for more than a century. Although the region attracts significant scholarly interest IR theory has rarely been used as a tool to understand events. The constructivist approach in IR highlights the significance of state identity shaped by history and culture in making sense of international relations. The authors of this volume consider how IR theory can elucidate the patterns and principles that shape the region in order to provide a rigorous account of the contemporary challenges of the Middle East. The Routledge Handbook of International Relations in the Middle East provides comprehensive coverage of International Relations issues in the region. Thus it offers key resources for researchers and students interested in International Relations and the Middle East.

Islam in International Relations Politics and Paradigms

Islam in International Relations Politics and Paradigms

Islam in International Relations: Politics and Paradigms analyses the interaction between Islam and IR. It shows how Islam is a conceptualization of ideas that affect people’s thinking and behaviour in their capacity to relate with IR as both discipline and practice. This approach challenges Western-based and defined epistemological and ontological foundations of the discipline and by doing so contributes to worlding IR as a field of study and practice by presenting and discussing a broad range of standpoints from within Islamic civilization. The volume opens with the presentation and discussion of the international thought of a major Muslim leader followed by a chapter that addresses the ethical practice of IR from traditional pacifism to modern Arab political philosophy. It then switches to applying constructivism as a tool to understand Islam in world affairs and proceeds to address the issue of how the ethnocentric approach of Western academia has hindered our understanding of world affairs. The volume moves on to address the ISIS phenomenon a current urgent issue in world affairs and closes with a look at Islamic geopolitics. This comprehensive collection will be of great interest to students scholars and policy-makers with a focus on the Muslim world. | Islam in International Relations Politics and Paradigms

What's the Point of International Relations?

What's the Point of International Relations?

What’s the Point of International Relations casts a critical eye on what it is that we think we are doing when we study and teach international relations (IR). It brings together many of IR’s leading thinkers to challenge conventional understandings of the discipline’s origins history and composition. It sees IR as a discipline that has much to learn from others which has not yet lived up to its ambitions or potential and where much work remains to be done. At the same time it finds much that is worth celebrating in the discipline’s growing pluralism and views IR as a deeply political critical and normative pursuit. The volume is divided into five parts: • What is the point of IR? • The origins of a discipline • Policing the boundaries • Engaging the world • Imagining the future Although each chapter alludes to and/or discusses central aspects of all of these components each part is designed to capture the central thrust of the concerns of the contributors. Moving beyond western debate orthodox perspectives and uncritical histories this volume is essential reading for all scholars and advanced level students concerned with the history development and future of international relations. | What's the Point of International Relations?

The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative From Asia to Europe

The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative From Asia to Europe

This book merges macro- and micro-level analysis of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to dissect China’s aim in creating an integrated Eurasian continent through this single mega-project. BRI has been the source of much interest and confusion as established frameworks of analysis seek to understand China’s intentions behind the policy. China’s international activity in the early 21st century has not yet been successfully theorised by IR scholars because of a failure to satisfactorily encompass its complexity. In addition the mix-and-match syncretism of the Chinese approach to foreign policy has been under-emphasised or omitted in many analyses. Bringing together complexity thinking and analytic eclecticism to assess the degree to which this scheme can transform international relations Garlick critically examines this large-scale interconnectivity project and its potential impacts. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of international relations and China studies including academics policy-makers and diplomats around the world. | The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative From Asia to Europe

Just War Thinkers From Cicero to the 21st Century

Just War Thinkers From Cicero to the 21st Century

This volume offers a set of concise and accessible introductions to the seminal figures in the historical development of the just war tradition. In what if any circumstances are political communities justified in going to war? And what limits should apply to the conduct of any such war? The just war tradition is a body of thought that helps us think through these very questions. Its core ideas have been subject to fierce debate for over 2 000 years. Yet they continue to play a prominent role in how political and military leaders address the challenges posed by the use of force in international society. Until now there has been no text that offers concise and accessible introductions to the key figures associated with the tradition. Stepping into this breach Just War Thinkers provides a set of clear but detailed essays by leading experts on nineteen seminal thinkers from Cicero to Jeff McMahan. This volume challenges the reader to think about how traditions are constituted—who is included and excluded and how that is determined—and how they serve to enable constrain and indeed channel subsequent thought debate and exchange. This book will be of much interest to students of just war tradition and theory ethics and war philosophy security studies and IR. | Just War Thinkers From Cicero to the 21st Century

The Analytics Revolution in Higher Education Big Data Organizational Learning and Student Success

Co-published with and In this era of “Big Data ” institutions of higher education are challenged to make the most of the information they have to improve student learning outcomes close equity gaps keep costs down and address the economic needs of the communities they serve at the local regional and national levels. This book helps readers understand and respond to this “analytics revolution ” examining the evolving dynamics of the institutional research (IR) function and the many audiences that institutional researchers need to serve. Internally there is a growing need among senior leaders administrators faculty advisors and staff for decision analytics that help craft better resource strategies and bring greater efficiencies and return-on-investment for students and families. Externally state legislators the federal government and philanthropies demand more forecasting and more evidence than ever before. These demands require new and creative responses as they are added to previous demands rather than replacing them nor do they come with additional resources to produce the analysis to make data into actionable improvements. Thus the IR function must become that of teacher ensuring that data and analyses are accurate timely accessible and compelling whether produced by an IR office or some other source. Despite formidable challenges IR functions have begun to leverage big data and unlock the power of predictive tools and techniques contributing to improved student outcomes. | The Analytics Revolution in Higher Education Big Data Organizational Learning and Student Success

The International Politics of Fashion Being Fab in a Dangerous World

The International Politics of Fashion Being Fab in a Dangerous World

This book seeks to address and fill a puzzling omission in contemporary critical IR scholarship. Following on from the aesthetic turn in IR critical and ‘postmodern’ IR has produced an impressive array of studies into movies literature music and art and the way these media produce mediate and represent international politics. By contrast the proponents of the aesthetic turn have overlooked fashion as a source of knowledge about global politics. Yet stories about the political role of fashion abound in the news media. Margaret Thatcher used dress to define her political image and more recently the fascination with Michelle Obama Carla Bruni and other women in similar positions and the discussions about the appropriateness of their wardrobes regularly makes the news. In Sudan a female writer and activist successfully challenged the government over her right to wear trousers in public and in Europe the debate on women’s headscarves has politicised a garment item and turned it into a symbol of fundamentalism and oppression. In response the contributors to this book investigate the politics of fashion from a variety of perspectives addressing theoretical as well as empirical issues establishing the critical study of fashion and its protagonists as a central contribution to the aesthetic turn in international politics. The politics of fashion go beyond these examples of the uses and abuses of textiles and fabrics for political purposes extending into its very ‘grammar’ and vocabulary. This book will be a unique contribution to the field and will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations critical IR theory and popular culture and world politics. | The International Politics of Fashion Being Fab in a Dangerous World

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Finger-wagging moralizers say the love of money is the root of all evil. They assume that making a lot of money requires exploiting others and that the best way to wash off the resulting stain is to give a lot of it away. In Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich Jason Brennan shows that the moralizers have it backwards. He argues that in general the more money you make the more you already do for others and that even an average wage earner is productively “giving back” to society just by doing her job. In addition wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own. Brennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer more trustworthy and more cooperative citizens. And in another chapter that takes on the new historians of capitalism Brennan argues that wealthy nations became wealthy because of their healthy institutions not from their horrific histories of slavery or colonialism. While writing that the more money one has the more one should help others Brennan also notes that we weren’t born into a perpetual debt to society. It’s OK to get rich and it’s OK to enjoy being rich too. Key Features Shows how the desire to become wealthy in an open and fair market helps maximize cooperation and lessens the chance of violence and war Argues that it is much easier for the average for-profit business to add value to the world than it is for the average non-profit Demonstrates that the kinds of virtues (e. g. conscientiousness thoughtfulness hard work) that lead to desirable personal and civic states (e. g. happy marriages stable families engaged citizens) also make people richer Argues that living in small clans for most of their history has given humans a negative attitude towards anyone acquiring more than her fair share an attitude that’s ill-suited for our market-driven globally connected world In a final provocative chapter maintains that ideal economic growth is infinite. | Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation: From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer is organized into three parts that expose and develop the three capabilities that are essential for a successful digital transformation: 1. Understanding how to co-create digital services with users whether they are customers or future customers. This ability combines observation dialogue and iterative experimentation. The approach proposed in this book is based on the Lean Startup approach according to an extended vision that combines Design Thinking and Growth Hacking. Companies must become truly customer-centric from observation and listening to co-development. The revolution of the digital age of the 21st century is that customer orientation is more imperative - the era of abundance usages rate of change complexity of experiences and shift of power towards communities - are easier using digital tools and digital communities. 2. Developing an information system (IS) that is the backbone of the digital transformation – called “exponential information system” to designate an open IS (in particular on its borders) capable of interfacing and combining with external services positioned as a player in software ecosystems and built for processing scalable and dynamic data flows. The exponential information system is constantly changing and it continuously absorbs the best of information processing technology such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. 3. Building software “micro-factories” that produce service platforms which are called “Lean software factories. ” This “software factory” concept covers the integration of agile methods tooling and continuous integration and deployment practices a customer-oriented product approach and a platform approach based on modularity as well as API-based architecture and openness to external stakeholders. This software micro-factory is the foundation that continuously produces and provides constantly evolving services. These three capabilities are not unique or specific to this book they are linked to other concepts such as agile methods product development according to lean principles software production approaches such as CICD (continuous integration and deployment) or DevOps. This book weaves a common frame of reference for all these approaches to derive more value from the digital transformation and to facilitate its implementation. The title of the book refers to the “lean approach to digital transformation” because the two underlying frameworks Lean Startup and Lean Software Factory are directly inspired by Lean in the sense of the Toyota Way. The Lean approach is present from the beginning to the end of this book - it provides the framework for customer orientation and the love of a job well done which are the conditions for the success of a digital transformation. | The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

In clinical work an awareness of patients' subjective experiences particularly their perceptions of interpersonal relationships is indispensable. The aim of this book is to improve care and treatment planning by describing a structured approach to eliciting patients' core relationship patterns. These patterns consist of the roles and scenarios into which they repeatedly cast themselves and others with whom they interact. Maladaptive patterns in which vicious cycles and self-fulfilling prophecies of misperception misunderstanding or provocation escalate cause pain and havoc in personal relationships and can adversely affect both professionals' decisions and the overall delivery of treatment. This book shows how to use vital information that is often not made available to treatment teams in order to understand such potential pitfalls rather than succumb to them. | Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice
