"Cindy Weber's International Relations Theory has always been both an impressive pedagogical tool and forward-thinking theoretically. Teaching it, I have found that the movie examples both make IR accessible to students and encourage them to engage; reading it, I have always learned something new. The new edition is no exception - it is groundbreaking theoretically, without peer pedagogically, engagingly written, and intellectually creative. I enthusiastically recommend its widespread use." - Laura Sjoberg, Royal Holloway University of London, UK and University of Florida, USA.
"In this classic text, now in its fifth edition, Cynthia Weber's approach to International Relations (IR) theory as and through myth, and her pairing of IR theories' myths with film, continues to be as unique as it is important for the critical study of IR. The inclusion of a chapter on global LGBT theory and queer theory in this latest edition is a key addition that further highlights the originality of the text, but also speaks to its critical conceptual and political currency. No other IR textbook comes as close as International Relations Theory: A Critical Introduction (5th edition) in enabling students to think critically about their world." - Linea Cutter and François Debrix, Virginia Tech, USA.
"Cynthia Weber's International Relations Theory is an imaginative and innovative disquisition on the narratives and myths that have structured the discipline of International Relations and its theoretical developments. With each chapter, Weber disrupts conventional 'truths' about the discipline and inspires us to see, understand and grapple with the complexities of international politics in novel and creative ways. An essential resource for students and scholars of international relations alike." - Suwita Hani Randhawa, University of the West of England, UK
"Weber's textbook leads the field in delivering the cutting edge content and culturally relevant teaching materials that today's students demand. Using popular films to illustrate IR theories is both appealing to students and pedagogically effective. Contributing both sophisticated and accessible analyses, this updated edition excels with a chapter on global queer theory and a companion website that is as good as it gets. What's not to love?!" - V Spike Peterson, Professor of International Relations, University of Arizona, USA.
