Produktbeschreibung

A History of International Thought divides the debate into three phases. The first, explored in Part I, involves the creation of an inter-state system as a by-product of the formation of the modern western state from the sixteenth century onwards. The second, examined in Part II, follows the development of a self-conscious analysis of the international during and after the industrialisation of society. The third, the development of IR as a university subject.
