A Reader in International Relations and Political Theory

UBC Press

This reader has been assembled in response to increasingdissatisfaction among a growing number of international relationsscholars with the currently dominant theory of realism as well as inrecognition of the large number of newly independent states which arehaving to write new constitutions and develop foreign relations.

 The book includes excerpts and essays from political theoryand international relations which provide a starting point for furtherstudy of these subjects. It draws together writings representing twodistinct traditions and demonstrates their interconnections. Inpolitical theory, excerpts are drawn from classical texts which have animportant bearing on problems of international relations. Ininternational relations, the collection includes essays which have hada seminal influence on the development of this discipline.

The editors firmly believe that there is much to be learned from theinterface between international relations and political theory and theyargue that, although regarded by some as two distinct fields, theirsubject matter is one: the nature of human conduct in a globalcontext.
