Globalization and International Relations Theory

This book offers a clearly-written, accessible account of the theoretical debates about globalization. Much globalization theory casts doubt upon the continuing relevance of the state and seems to undermine traditional theories of international relations. Ian Clark rejects such an approach and argues that globalization and IR theory can enrich each other. In particular, he shows how globalization itself derives from changing state practices.

Globalization and International Relations Theory will be of use to students and academics across a range of disciplines, in particular those on globalization, IR theory, and IPE courses.
