	International relations theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		International relations theories can be divided into "positivist/rationalist" theories which focus on a principally state-level analysis, and"post-positivist/reflectivist" ones which incorporate expanded meanings of security, ranging from class, to gender, to postcolonial security.
		Marxist and Neo-Marxist international relations theories are positivist paradigms which reject the realist/liberal view of state conflict or cooperation; instead focusing on the economic and material aspects.
		Functionalism is a theory of international relations that arose principally from the experience of European integration.

	sociology - International relations
		International relations (IR) is an academic and public policy field, a branch of political science, dealing with the foreign policy of states within the international system, including the roles of international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations (MNCs).
		International relations involves a diverse range of issues, including the environmental movement, nuclear proliferation, nationalism, foreign aid, economic development, and human rights.
		It assumes that the international system is anarchic, in the sense that there is no authority above states capable of regulating their interactions; states must arrive at relations with other states on their own, rather than it being dictated to them by some higher controlling entity (that is, no true authoritative world government exists).

		International relations (IR), a branch of political science, is the study of foreign affairs of and relations among states within the international system, including the roles of inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations (MNCs).
		The history of international relations is often traced back to the Peace of Westphalia of 1648 where the modern states system was developed.
		International relations do not exist in an abstract vacuum—each state (and sometimes sub-state actor) utilizes institutions, traditions, identity, force, rhetoric, and other channels to influence the other actors in the international system.

	The IR Theory Knowledge Base
		An international regime is viewed as a set of implicit and explicit principles, norms, rules, and procedures around which actors' expectations converge in a particular issue-area.
		States come to be a part of an international society by accepting that various principles and institutions govern the way in which they conduct their foreign relations.
		An approach to international relations that emphasises the studying of such disciplines as diplomatic history, international law, and philosophy in an attempt to develop better insights.

	The State of International Relations
		This failure of critical international theory appears all the more paradoxical given that alternative theories of the state and its military dimension, which might have provided the basis for a challenge to Realism, were available in the Marxist and, especially, the broader sociological traditions which the new approaches often utilised.
		To conclude this discussion: while radical and Marxist-influenced theories in International Relations have given us accounts of global power relations from which state forms are largely absent, historical sociology, while offering a transformed perspective on state forms in previous historical periods, has barely begun to confront the novelties of contemporary state forms.
		Contrary to the assumption that has prevailed in International Relations, as elsewhere in the social sciences, the global is not constituted by global market relations or global communications, which then affect non-global political structures and insitutions.

		Rational choice institutionalism, which falls in the broader category of social choice theory, attempts to explain collective choices by rational actors (see the module on rational choice approaches in IR).
		The rational choice institutionalism that emerged from this insight seeks to explain both the consequences of different institutions for political outcomes and the selection of particular institutional arrangements.
		New institutionalism developed as a critique of the neglect of institutional factors by the behaviorist and rationalist approaches.

	Economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The subject has two broad branches: microeconomics, where the unit of analysis is the individual agent, such as a household, firm (economics jargon for a "business"), or government department, and macroeconomics, where the unit of analysis is the nation state.
		Evolutionary economics often deals with the otherwise difficult questions related to the role of 'routines' and 'capabilities' in explaining heterogeneity in firm outcomes.
		This labour theory of price and the closely related cost-of-production theory of value dominates the work of most classical economists, but those theories are far from the only accepted basis for "value".

	PS 227: Theories of International Relations
		The overarching goal of this course is to prepare students for research in international relations by providing them with a theoretical background in the field.
		Therefore, this course provides an overview of an array of theories of international relations, from the major debate of realism vs. neoliberalism to "radical" challengers such as Marxism, dependencia, critical theory, postmodernism, and feminism to approaches that look inside political actors such as foreign policy analysis and leadership.
		The goal of the paper is for students to do additional outside theoretical reading, to explore how the theory has been applied to particular international issues, and to reach their own conclusions about how well this theory explains international events and how the theory could be refined.
