International Relations: A Framework for Analysis

 
Sunil Sondhi (Author)
Synopsis The state of present day International relation is more complex than the state of discipline in the mid-to-late twentieth century. Theory and practice of International Relations in the new millennium could well be seen as a confluence of different streams of thought and action that have evolved in this context since the creation of modern state system in the 17th century, and particularly during lat fifty years. Beginning with the Westphalian system established in 1648, and continuing in the twentieth century with the onset of Cold War, emergence of the Third World, spread of Globalization, and the rise of Civil Society, this multi-level structure of International Relations is too complex to be understood by shutting ourselves up in any one or the other school of thought. Polarization in thought between the “economic” and “political”, between the “domestic” and the “international”, or even between “Realism” and “Liberalism”, seems artificial, and divorced from reality. This book explores International Relations with a broader concept of globalised states as they have developed over the last half-century. The traditional pattern, which automatically took the sovereign state and state-systems as the starting point of investigation, is no longer sufficient for a realistic understanding of International Relations. The old madels of sovereignty and democracy are not capable of providing good governance in a globalizing world. The campaigns of global society and the bottom up pressure of citizen activism have become essential to both the theory and practice of International Relations. The present book attempts to analyse International Relation in the light of the five major trends mentioned above to provide a comprehensive coverage of all the important political, economic and social structures and processes that are essential for an indepth understanding of the field.
