The Routledge Handbook of Ideology and International Relations

Beschreibung

The Routledge Handbook of Ideology and International Relations reviews, consolidates, and advances the study of ideology in international politics.

The volume unifies fragmented scholarship on ideology's impact on international relations into a wide-ranging and go-to volume. Declarations of the 'end of ideology' have once again been proven premature: nationalisms of various stripes are thriving; ideological polarization and conflicts both within and among states are growing; and environmentalist, feminist and anti-globalization activists are intensifying their demands on international institutions and states. This timely volume presents ideology as a way of explaining these major developments of world politics, rejecting the simplistic association of ideology with passionate convictions in favor of more complex theories of ideology's influence. The chapters summarize cutting edge knowledge on major topics, suggest key implications for broader theoretical debates and frameworks, and point the way forwards to future avenues of inquiry. Contributors adopt puzzle-orientated causal, constitutive and/or critical approaches with a central focus on the determinants and effects of ideological phenomena and their interaction with other aspects of politics.

This handbook is of key interest to students and scholars of ideologies, international relations, foreign policy analysis, political science, political theory and more broadly to sociology, psychology, and history.

The Routledge Handbook of Ideology and International Relations is part of the mini-series Routledge Handbooks on Political Ideologies, Practices and Interpretations, edited by Michael Freeden.

Rezensionen

"What does it say about the ideology of international relations scholarship that it disappeared from our analyses? This volume puts ideology back on the map - where it should always have been. With an impressive roster of scholars and range of topics, the volume demonstrates the importance of ideology, operating with a range of different interpretations, carefully considering when ideology is more or less likely to have grand effects, and how the concept relates to other ideational forces in world politics."
Michael N. Barnett, University Professor of International Affairs and Political Science, George Washington University, USA

"Whether we are talking about the universal ideologies of liberalism and

communism that defined the Cold War, the racial ideologies underpinning colonial orders, or transnational populist movements challenging the contemporary liberal order, to understand international politics requires understanding ideological politics. This outstanding handbook brings together essays from some of the most important scholars of ideological politics, who demonstrate the significance of ideology across a range of empirical topics. But this handbook is far more than summary. It also lays out an ambitious agenda of how scholars can conceptualize, theorize, and research ideology in international relations. This handbook is likely to become an essential reference for both students and experts interested in ideological politics."

"Carefully chosen and expertly curated, the editors have brought together an outstanding group of scholars to probe the diverse roles that ideology plays in global politics. Drawing on the latest research across a range of disciplines, they take on the skeptics and provide students with a searching and subtle exploration of how ideologies matter and how contestation over the role of ideology lies at the heart of the study of International Relations."
Andrew Hurrell, Montague Burton Emeritus Professor of International Relations, University of Oxford, UK

"Scholars of ideology in world politics have labored long as scattered dissenters from the orthodoxies of realism
and materialist versions of liberalism. Now, Jonathan Leader Maynard and Mark L. Haas have gathered these scholars into a school that will surely mitigate their isolation and strengthen their efforts. This is no mere collection of essays, though, but rather a potent manual for students and scholars who want to know not only how ideology matters, but also how to show that ideology matters, in world politics."
Daniel Philpott, Professor of Political Science, University of Notre Dame, USA
