Theories of International Relations : Brief Introduction
The earliest text on International Relations for the first time, was
written by the Greek historian Thucydides (c.430- 406 B.C), The
Peloponnesian War.4 Academically, the study of International Relations
was introduced with the establishment of the Woodrow Wilson chair of
International Relations in 1919 at the University College of Wales,
Aberystwyth, United Kingdom. Alfred Zimmern was the first holder of
this chair. C.K. Webster and E.H. Carr were among the early scholars of
this discipline. This subject was offered in European and American
Universities from the 1920s. Simultaneously at several other places,
chairs of International Relations were established such as in Hebrew
University, Jerusalem (1929), Oxford University (1930), the London
School of Economics (1936) and the University of Edinburgh (1948).5
The First World War had a deep impact on the development of this
new subject in social sciences. Before the First World War, according to
Alfred Zimmern, "There was no teaching of the subject as such, and very

The third stage began during the inter-war period when there
occurred a paradigm shift from the historical and contemporaneous to a
moralistic-legalistic approach. Scholars emphasized a war-free world
order and suggested creation of organizations like League of Nations.

Theories of International Relations : Brief Introduction
However, this approach was too idealistic and ignored the hard realities
of international life.9
The fourth stage commenced after the end of the Second World
War in 1945.10 Now there was a shift from merely praising or
condemning different states’ behaviour but to discover the causes behind
such behaviour. The emphasis was now more on understanding. This
shift in international relations in the fourth stage was the outcome of
decolonization, emergence of new nation-states, rise of new universal
values, demographic change etc. This shift gave birth to the Realist
school which believed that power was a means, as well as end in itself.
International politics was nothing but a struggle for power. Morgenthau
became its chief proponent.11
The fifth stage started from the mid-sixties to the seventies when
international organization, trans-national institutions and multinational
corporations were added to the study of International Relations, which
resulted in the coming of Neo-liberal school of thought. Robert Keohane
and Joseph Nye emerged as its chief proponents who stressed upon
interdependence, security communities, transnational economic
cooperation and creation of an international regime.

Theories of International Relations : Brief Introduction
This further widened the gap between the world’s rich and poor
countries leading to North-South conflict and thus generating new debate
on the global political agenda. Thus for the first time, in this stage, the
South demanded the establishment of a New International Economic
Order (NIEO)14 which became a subject of analysis in international
relations. Another development of this stage was the revival of peace
studies. The issues of global stability, world order and control of global
violence now got predominance in the international relations.15
The sixth stage may be counted from the late seventies to the first
half of eighties. In this period, the efficacy of detente16was questioned
and 'New cold war’ emerged which changed the whole scenario. On the
one hand, the Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan, on the other, US
President Reagan threatened the world by talking of star war programme.
The whole world got worried about its effect on the environment and
ecology. Hence, ecological and environmental issues now became the

Theories of International Relations : Brief Introduction
The eighth stage began with the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Republics of the USSR and Yugoslavia became independent states. The
supremacy of the US paved the way for the unipolar world as it remained
the only superpower. The third world countries and the countries of the
erstwhile disintegrated communist bloc started seeking economic aid
from the Western countries and especially from the US. The US started
pressurizing these countries to accept its terms and conditions for
economic aid.
In the post-cold war period, there were several issues which gained
significance in the study of international relations. Some of these were:
importance of non-state actors, energy crisis, terrorism, globalization, the
fear of third world war, technological development, increasing role of
trans-national organizations, non-traditional security threats, the North-
South debate, environmental degradation, rise of world oligarchy and
world mass, nuclearization, expansion of weapons of mass destruction
(MAD) etc.24

politics, their voices had not been heard, their representation in various
decision-making and policy-making bodies had been minimal, yet these
issues had been totally overlooked in the study of international relations.
Thus, the main concern of the present work is to study the reasons
for such negligence and to highlight the voices of those feminist scholars
who challenged the traditional theories of international relations.
25
Idealism holds that ideas have significant causal effect on happenings in world
politics and that ideas can change. It is criticized by realists as utopianism because it
overlooks the importance of power politics.

Liberalism here is being used as a synonym for further developments of idealist
school in IR. Idealist approach to IR was named as liberal here because Idealist seeks
to apply liberal thinking in domestic politics to international relations. Liberalism
emphasizes absolute over illative gains and, in practice, a commitment to free trade,
free capital flows, and an ‘open’ world economy.

Neo-neo debate was not a debate between two polar opposite worldviews. They
shared an epistemology, focused on similar questions and agreed on a number of
assumptions about world politics. This was an intra-paradigm debate. See., John
Baylis, Patricia Owens and Steve Smith (ed.), op.cit., pp. 133-135

Neo-liberals put a greater emphasis on the plurality of actors and their activities in
IR. They acknowledged that side by side the UN and other regional organizations like
EU, ASEAN, and African Union (AU) which remained state-based; there was an
increasing significance of non-state actors such as MNCs, IMF, and other non-state
actors.

them to do so. Thus, unlike the realist theory, the neo-realist theory
believed in the possibility of some form of cooperation between the states
as that of neo-liberals. But the point of divergence between the neo-
liberals and neo-realists was that neo-realists still believed that states, in
general, try to maximize their relative power and secure their autonomy.32

They argued that in the situations of anarchy, states act within a system of
norms which was limited in nature most of the time. They stressed the
existence of a world of sovereign states where both power and law
resided together.38
However, after the end of the cold war, the major paradigms in
international relations seemed unable to analyze the existing
circumstances. Hence, new debates emerged in the area of international
relations. They now focused on methodological and substantial matters.
They were different from the mainstream liberal, realist and Marxist
schools of thought in international relations. They constituted the fourth
debate, which challenged the conventional theories in international
relations and suggested alternative approaches. These approaches were
considered as new voices in international relations and were recognized
as post-positivist approaches. Yosef Lapid regarded these approaches as
the beginning of a post-positivist era.39

Gramsci shifted the focus of Marxist analysis more towards super-structural
phenomena. In particular, he explored the processes by which consent for a particular
social and political system was produced and reproduced and through the operation of
hegemony. Hegemony allows the ideas and ideologies of the ruling stratum to become
widely dispersed and widely accepted, throughout society.

However, at present time, communist parties are in power only in few countries like
China, Vietnam and Cuba. Therefore there is no serious challenge to global
capitalism. Rather these parties have endorsed some of the basic ideas of the capitalist
market economy for their own survival. See., John Baylis, Steve Smith & Patricia
Owens (ed.), op. cit, p. 144

They observed that the underdeveloped states were lagging behind due to the vested
economic interests of the dominating capitalist ‘core’ states. Hence, the
underdeveloped states should isolate themselves from the global capitalist economy
so that they could pursue indigenous economic growth and development model.
89
The same dependency theory was equally applicable to the present globalized
economy. It primarily represented the interests of the capitalist ‘core’ countries.
Forces of globalization have not brought equal development for all kind of the states.
It was also unable to counter the exploitative practices of core states over periphery
states.

Housewifization is the termed used for the emphasis on the Victorian image of the

consequence of this notion, women’s labour became a natural resource that was freely

Its origin could be traced in the 18th century, but it was considered as a new theory
in the post-cold war period due to the renewed attention of some Western scholars.
Theorists of this strand were concerned with human consciousness; treated ideas as
structural factors; considered the dynamic relationship between ideas and material
forces as a consequence of how actors interpreted their material reality; and were
interested in how agents produce structures and how structures produce agents

state had been assigned the duty of mediator for resolving the conflicts
between two larger states, then this new role might develop a new
confidence in that small state and thereby create a new sense of identity
in that small state. It could visualize itself as a peacemaker and may
actively participate in this type of role in the near future.
106
Constructivists emphasized the value of norms in international relations. Norms
not only help the states in achieving their interests but also influence on the ways in
which states conceive their interests and identities. States try to achieve it in a
mutually profitable way. Further, constructivists are not in agreement with the point
of view that states are greedy for accumulating power and wealth.
107
See., John Baylis, Steve Smith & Patricia Owens (ed.), op. cit, p. 168

Constructivists countered the realist stand of visualizing state interests in a simple
way. Complex culture and linguistic models had a great influence on the interests of a
state and its formulation. Further, cooperation took place between the states because
states were eager to achieve it.

As stated above, constructivist considered ideas precede matter which was totally
different from the stand of positivists, who conceptualized that matter precedes ideas.

Moreover, there are new shifts taking place in the several other branches of social
sciences, especially in the philosophy of social sciences, which put questions on the
matter of adoption of the methodology and challenged the realist-positivist position.

It was felt that new issues such as the role of non-state actors, identity politics,
transnational movements and impact of Information communication technology (ICT)
could not be analyzed with the conventional approaches.

Deconstruction was an apparatus to contest conventional objective truth and
thoughts. Double reading was a method of depicting how apparently objective and
natural oppositions (such as public/private, male/female) were operated by subjecting
the text to two reading. The first was a recurrence of the prevalent interpretation to
illustrate how it attained its consistency. The second reading was to figure out the
inner contradictions within a text that resulted from the use of outwardly natural
stabilizations. The objective was not to a ‘correct’ or ‘one’ reading of a text, but to
portrait how there was repeatedly more than one reading. Ibid., p. 186

Colonialism is the political hegemony, physical occupation and supremacy of
people over another people and their territory for the objectives of extraction and
settlement to advantage the occupiers. On the other hand, post-colonialism is
intimately connected to the structure and processes of world-politics- the transnational
flows of peoples and identity constructions, issues of nation and nationalism and how
culture makes imperialism possible.

social, sexual, intellectual and economic spheres. It comprises a diverse collection of
social theories, political movements and moral philosophies, largely motivated by the
experience of women.
