International Relations in Europe

<p>A new and illuminating critical examination of international relations in Europe. </p><p>This new volume presents all of the state of the art thinking focusing particularly on international relations theory and theoretical debates in Western and Central European countries.<br><br>The contributors seek to strengthen knowledge about different ways of cultivating the discipline; to intensify pan-European communication concerning IR theory; to contribute to improving the quality of theorizing; and finally to consider future directions for the discipline in Europe. The main issues addressed include: the historical development of the discipline; factors driving IR theorizing; the institutional and cultural context of theorizing; 'homegrown' theory-building vs. theory import; patterns of traditional and new discourse; and the diversity of disciplinary traditions.</p>
