Assesses current post structural and postmodern theories and defends international relations as a discipline
Promising to stimulate discussion among both those who celebrate the arrival of the "Third Debate" and those who fear its colonialization and spread, D. S. L. Jarvis offers an innovative appraisal of the various postmodern and post structural theories sweeping the discipline of international relations. Citing the work of Richard Ashley, Jarvis explores the lineage of postmodern theory, its importation into international relations, and its transformation from critical epistemology to subversive and deconstructive political program.
Inspired by a deep-seated concern that theory in international relations is becoming increasingly abstract and unrelated to the subject matter scholars strive to understand, Jarvis argues that much postmodern and poststructural theory has impoverished our theoretical understanding of global political relations, embroiling us in incommensurate discourses and research agendas driven by identity politics.
By developing a series of critical typologies to assess postmodern and post structural theories, Jarvis mount a ringing defense of the discipline's existing research methods and epistemologies, and he suggests that more harm than good has come of the epistemological subversion occasioned by the Third Debate.
