Critical Theories in International Relations
This edited book focuses primarily on contemporary debates and the critical and postmodern theories to be considered a significant contribution to the field. This book shows that critical international relations theories, which are incomprehensible and challenging, are easy and understandable. The book analyzes the Frankfurt School, constructivism, post-colonialism, feminism, critical geopolitics, political economy, Copenhagen School, Aberystwyth School, Paris School and Ontological security. Critical Theories in International Relations argues that neither identity nor security can be considered a fixed and objective issue, can change according to time and space, and depend on historical and sociological factors. Nothing is given for critical approaches, and they are produced and reproduced in ever-changing conditions that lead to new truths and meanings. These are the results of reflexive and non-linear interactions. In this context, it is made pedagogically understandable to the readers within this framework.
The British Miner in the Age of De-Industrialization
A book which challenges received understandings of the place of the miner in contemporary British history, arguing that the British coal miners went through a cyclical movement -- from loser to winner and back again -- as Britain underwent a de-industrial revolution in the final decades of the twentieth century.
Running Cultures
Running is one of the world's most widely practiced sports and recreations but until now it has intended to elude serious study outside of the natural sciences. John Bale brings the sport into the realm of the humanities by drawing on sources including literature, poetry, film, art and sculpture as well as statistics and training manuals to highlight the tensions, ambiguities and complexities that lie hidden beneath the commonplace notion of running. The text explores both local and personal, as well as communal and global aspects of running and its practitioners. It examines the streets, tracks and stadiums where athletes run, the races in which they compete, and the running relationships s...
Spheres of Influence in International Relations
Current events happening around the world, especially the ‘humanitarian interventions’ by NATO and the West within the context of the so-called Arab Spring, make the understanding of the role of spheres of influence in international politics absolutely critical. Hast explores the practical implications and applications of this theory, challenging the concept by using historical examples such as suzerainty and colonialism, as well as the emergence of a hierarchical international order. This study further connects the English School tradition, post-war international order, the Cold War and images of Russia with the concept of the sphere of influence to initiate debate and provide a fresh outlook on a concept which has little recent attention.
Geopolitics
Written by one of the world's leading political geographers, this fully revised and updated textbook examines the dramatic changes wrought by ideological, economic, socio-cultural and demographic changes unleashed since the end of the Cold War. Saul Cohen considers these forces in the context of their human and physical settings, and explores their geographical influence on foreign policy and international relations.
