Description
Sage Historical International Relations 2015 Edition by Halvard Leira, Benjamin de Carvalho
As a quarry for data, testing-ground for theory and site of investigation, history has been one of the unacknowledged partners of International Relations. The last two decades has witnessed both a substantial increase in the scope of historical IR scholarship and in the sophistication of methodological approaches to history, accompanied by a rapidly increasing (and multidisciplinary) interest in the history of international thought, as well as an ever more sophisticated historiography of the discipline itself. This Major Work is structured in a way to engage with the key recent developments in the field of international relations, providing the reader with an overview of approaches to history in IR; the history of international thought/historiography; and the emergence of the state and the state system.Volume One: Doing Historical International RelationsVolume Two: The History of International ThoughtVolume Three: The State in Historical PerspectiveVolume Four: The State System in Historical Perspective
