International Relations Theory and the End of the Cold War

by Richard Ned Lebow and Thomas Risse-Kappen

This engaging and provocative set of essays evaluates and reformulates international relations theory in light of revolutionary events of the past several years, particularly the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Contributors demonstrate that existing theoretical constructs neither anticipated nor can readily account for these transformations.

Including essays by prominent scholars in the field, International Relations Theory and the End of the Cold War  attempts to account for the downfall of a bipolar international order and to describe the world system that is now emerging.
