Rethinking International Relations is both an argument fora fresh theoretical approach to International Relations and anapplication of that theory to the changes in the international systembrought about by the end of the Cold War. Fred Halliday'swide-ranging review identifies an impasse in International Relationstheory: if debate has long revolved around the question of the state,and around a set of methodological issues, Halliday seeks to breakthrough this double impasse by a new theorization of the role of thestate, and by a critique of major contenders in the analytic field --English realism, American behaviouralism, neo-realism, andpost-modernism. By critical discussions of a range of questions -- state, society,revolution, women -- and a reconsideration of the place of Marxism inthe study of the 'international,' the author advances anargument that is both theoretically innovative and which encompassesthe major upheavals of the past decade. Rethinking International Relations opens a new chapter bothin International Relations theory and in our understanding ofcontemporary international politics.
