Zed Books
 









Summary:        In this bold intervention, Cudworth and Hobden draw on recent
advances in thinking about complexity theory to call for a profound
re-envisioning of the study of international relations. As a discipline, IR is
wedded to the enlightenment project of overcoming the "hazards" of nature, and
thus remains constrained by its blinkered "human-centered" approach.
Furthermore, as a means of predicting major global-political events and trends,
it has failed consistently. Instead, the authors argue, it is essential we
develop a much more nuanced and sophisticated analysis of global political
systems, taking into account broader environmental circumstances, as well as
social relations, economic practices, and formations of political power.
