Thinking theory thoroughly cover

Thinking theory thoroughly

by James N. Rosenau

"Think that theory is thoroughly removed from explaining international crises such as those that beset Kosovo, Rwanda, and Asian economies? Think again! James N. Rosenau and Mary Durfee show that the same events take on different coloration depending on the theory used to explain them. Thinking Theory Thoroughly is a primer for all kinds of readers who want to begin theorizing about international relations. Using realism, liberalism, and postinternationalism as alternative models, the authors take us up the ladder of theory-building step by step. Using case studies and examples, this volume shows how theories, and theorists, are tested in situations ranging from long-term regime building to short-term crisis."--BOOK JACKET.
