IRPG841: Theories of International Relations

This unit provides students with a grounding in the principle theoretical approaches to the study of international relations and world order. Beginning with a focus on the historical emergence of traditional approaches such as realism, liberalism and Marxism and their competing perspectives on the causes of war and the conditions of peace, the unit goes on to consider more recent approaches, including feminism, critical theory, constructivism and postmodernism.
