| Publisher Description: After International Relations articulates a systematic critical realist response to a quest for more emancipatory methodologies in International Relations. Heikki Patom ki here establishes a way out of the international relations problematic which has puzzled so many great thinkers and scholars for the last two hundred years. After International Relations shows how and why theories based on the international problematic have failed; articulates an alternative, critical realist research programme; and illustrates how this research programme can be put to work to enable better research and ethico-political practices. |
