Political theory and international relations: promised land or exit from Eden?
Article Abstract:
This article discusses the relationship between political theory and international relations, which has evolved into a new literature termed international political theory and runs the risk of becoming inappropriately narrow and unnecessary due to contemporary economic and political factors. The author outlines the history of academic theories of international relations and politics, its current state and possibilities for future studies, emphasizing the dangers of developing a hyper-rationalist approach.

Apocalypse now? Continuities or disjunctions in world politics after 9/11
Article Abstract:
A study argued that the widespread assumption that the events of world politics since 9/11 symbolize a radical break in world politics is wrong. The argument is discussed with reference to the geo-political configuration of world politics, the ideological shape of world politics, ideas and assumptions about the use of force in world politics and the relationship between civil liberty and security.
