Decolonizing Central Asian International Relations Beyond Empires

Decolonizing Central Asian International Relations Beyond Empires

This book unpacks the main narratives used in international relations to depict and explain existing inter-state relations in Central Asia with a focus on the construction of fairer international relations along the Silk Road. The book points to the need to decolonize international relations in the Central Asian region to present a fair representation of the regional states in international affairs. In doing so the book exposes the concepts and stereotypes that have been imposed on the Central Asian region by dominant assumptions in contemporary international relations. Offering empirical grounding for alternative views the author suggests that Western international relations make the same mistakes in the Central Asian region that the Russian Marxists made when they attributed a narrative of modernity along the lines of the progress made in Germany and Russia. In such a structure both Russian Marxist attempts and liberalist Western ideas disregard the fact that the region has its own model of modernity and progress which does not necessarily involve an appeal to the modern nation state ethnicity and state building. The book sheds lights on the prospects of coordinated development of Central Asia and Afghanistan. It also provides insights into the development of post-Socialist Asia in its relations with Russia China Japan and South Korea. Contributing to the task of placing Central Asia in discussions in the discipline of international relations this book will be of interest to academics working in the fields of international relations and Asian politics in particular Central Asian studies. | Decolonizing Central Asian International Relations Beyond Empires

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 Theory of International Relations Selected Texts from Gentili to Treitschke

The Theory of International Relations Selected Texts from Gentili to Treitschke

The great writings of the past on the subject of international relations add an important dimension to the contemporary study of the field. The Theory of International Relations consists of substantial selections from authors whose ideas should be readily available to all students of international relations. All the passages selected by the editors ask fundamental theoretical questions searching for the essence of interstate relations. This quest for answers carries the reader into investigations of the causes of war the balance of power the relationship between international relations and the political theory of the state and other major issues of this subject. The editors provide an introduction to the work which sets out the principles of selection and their belief in the relevance of political thought to the understanding of international relations. The selections are arranged in chronological sequence from Alberico Gentili writing in 1598 to Heinrich von Treitschke lecturing in Berlin at the end of the nineteenth century. All are concerned with the nature of international politics. Some of these selections are translated here for the first time and others reprinted from translations not easily obtainable. It is significant that Gentz's essay on the balance of power has not appeared in English since 1806 while Rousseau's writings on international politics have never been fully translated at all. There can be little doubt that the great writers of the past are presently neglected by students of international relations. This work covers extensive ground in solving this problem. As the theoretical background of international relations is acquiring an increasingly important place in college courses in this area the need for this book is widely felt. | The Theory of International Relations Selected Texts from Gentili to Treitschke

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.

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 Routledge Handbook of International Relations in the Middle East provides comprehensive coverage of International Relations issues in the region.

International Public Relations Perspectives from deeply divided societies

International Public Relations Perspectives from deeply divided societies

International Public Relations: Perspectives from deeply divided societies is positioned at the intersection of public relations (PR) practice with socio-political environments in divided conflict and post-conflict societies.

Presenting research from a diverse range of societies still deeply divided along racial ethnic religious or linguistic lines this collection engages with a variety of questions including how PR practice in these societies may contribute to our understanding of PR theory building. Importantly it highlights the role of communication strategies for actors that still deploy political violence to achieve their goals as well as those that use it in building peace resolving conflict and assisting in the development of civil society. Featuring a uniquely wide range of original empirical research including studies from Israel/Palestine Mozambique Northern Ireland former Yugoslavia former Czechoslovakia Spain Malaysia and Turkey this groundbreaking book will be of interest not only to scholars of public relations but also political communication international relations and peace and conflict studies.
