N2  - Rethinking International Relations.  This book doubles as both an argument for fresh theoretical approach to international relations and an application of that theory to the changes in the international system brought about by the end of the Cold War. It is a wide-ranging review that identifies an impasse in international relations theory: if debate has long revolved around the question of the state, and around a set of methodological issues.  The book seeks to break through this double impasse by a new theorisation of the role of the state, and by a critique of major contenders in the analytic field - English reallism, American behaviourism, neo-realism and post-modernism.  Finally, the book opens a new chapter both in international relations theory and in our understanding of contemporary international politics.
