Description
This book provides an accessible synthesis of sophisticated theory and in-depth history of international relations since 1945. It examines how particular theories have assisted in explaining various events and episodes in international relations.
History and theory are all too often treated as separate approaches to international relations. This book offers an accessible synthesis of sophisticated theory and in-depth history. The work first looks at the uses of theory, then takes major issues and episodes in international relations since 1945 (such as the rise of Japan, change in Latin America, wars in the Middle East, and decolonization) and demonstrate how it is that particular theories assist in explaining them. The student is left with a nuanced view of history and a critical but constructive approach to theories of international relations.
