What is International Relations? (Paperback)

As International Relations enters its second century as an academic discipline, leading expert Knud Erik Jorgensen provides a provocative assessment of its past, present and future. In this book, Jorgensen traces International Relations scholarship from its formative interwar years, through to rapid growth in students and researchers in the wake of globalization. He examines the resultant widening of scholarship in the field, and the effects that this has had on the global discipline. The result is a concise and challenging appraisal of International Relations, one which both celebrates its value and maps possible future directions.
