Editat de Shannon Brincat, Laura Lima, Joao Nunes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 dec 2011
This book provides an assessment of the legacy, challenges and future directions of Critical Theory in the fields of International Relations and Security Studies.
This book provides ‘first-hand’ interviews with some of the pioneers of Critical Theory in the fields of International Relations Theory and Security Studies. The interviews are combined innovatively with reflective essays to create an engaging and accessible discussion of the legacy and challenges of critical thinking. A unique forum that combines first-person discussion and secondary commentary on a variety of theoretical positions, the book explores in detail the interaction between different theories and approaches, including postcolonialism, feminism, and poststructuralism. Scholars from a variety of theoretical backgrounds reflect on the strengths and problems of critical theory, recasting the theoretical discussion about critical theory in the study of world politics and examining the future of the discipline.
Both an introduction and an advanced engagement with theoretical developments over the past three decades, Critical Theory in International Relations and Security Studies will be of interest to students and scholars of International Politics, Security Studies and Philosophy.

Recenzii

'Critique requires critique. By reinvigorating questions of belonging, progress, cosmopolitanism and order in world politics, critical theory has made an enormous contribution to International Relations and Security Studies, and influenced countless activists and policy makers committed to its normative vision of a more just and sustainable world. This book courageously states it is time to reassess. The probing interviews with the field's major figures are worth the price alone, but the stellar cast of scholars who ask what it has missed, who it must engage, and where it must go from here, make this a compelling work. It will set the stage for a productive new phase in truly challenging times.' - Anthony Burke, University of New South Wales, Australia
'Employing an unusual dialogical format, Critical Theory in International Relations and Security Studies lives up to Critical Theory’s promise of being self-reflective. Interviews with four leading figures in the field, which reveal the richness and diversity of their intellectual heritages, are complemented by a diverse group of commentators who challenge Critical International Relations Theory and Critical Security Studies to be ever aware of its commitment to ongoing dialogue and openness to new avenues of exploration. An important book for students and scholars alike: the stimulating and engaging interviews and essays provide openings for continual self-reflection on how Critical Theory can continue to broaden and deepen its focus further, openings which seem imperative in an increasingly diverse world.' - J. Ann Tickner, University of Southern California, USA
