Two worlds of international relations : academics, practitioners and the trad…

The power of international theory : reforging the link to foreign policy-maki…
"The field of international relations arose from the desire to assist and guide policy-makers to create a better and more peaceful world. However, many of the current trends, post-positivism, constructivism, reflectivism and postmodernism share a conception of international theory that undercuts the possibility of offering significant guidance to policy-makers."
