Abstract

Bill McSweeney addresses the central problem of international relations - security - and constructs a novel framework for its analysis. He argues for the unity of the interpersonal, societal and international levels of human behaviour and outlines a concept of security which more adequately reflects the complexity and ambiguity of the topic. This book introduces an alternative way of theorizing the international order, within which the idea of security takes on a broader range of meaning, inviting a more critical and interpretative approach to understanding the concept and formulating security policy. The recent shift to sociology in international relations theory has not as yet realized its critical potential for the study of security. Drawing on contemporary trends in social theory, Dr McSweeney argues that human agency and moral choice are inherent features of the construction of the social and thus international order, and hence of our conception of security and security policy.

Abstract

Governments intervening in post-conflict states find themselves beset with numerous challenges and profound dilemmas: It is often unclear how best to proceed because measures that may improve conditions in one respect may undermine them in another. This volume reviews and integrates the scholarly social-science literature relevant to stabilization and reconstruction, with the goal of informing strategic planning at the whole-of-government level.

Abstract

De studie van internationale betrekkingen was lange tijd genderblind. De invloed van en op vrouwen werd genegeerd en ook de invloed van gender op de internationale besluitvorming bleef lange tijd uit de kijker. Academische en professionele experts uit binnen- en buitenland onderzoeken in deze bundel wat de inhoudelijke ontmoeting van genderstudies en internationale betrekkingen aan nieuwe inzichten oplevert.
