Critical theory and world politics

This book represents the first attempt to bring together the leading critical theories of world politics to discuss both the promise and the pitfalls of their work. The authors range broadly across the terrain of world politics, engaging with both theory and emancipatory practice. Critiques by two scholars from other IR traditions are also includes. The result is a seminal statement of the critical theory approach to understanding world politics, an essential point of reference for future work in the field.
