https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/INTR5044?type=COREThis course provides an advanced introduction to IR concepts and theories. The purpose of the course is to give students an in-depth and critical understanding of a wide range of doing IR - their conceptual grammars and substantive foci through which they make world politics thinkable and doable and through which they problematise it in different ways - and a sense of the vastness of the IR archive of canonical and alternative knowledges. After showcasing how IR is being done from within the canon - covering Constructivist, Liberal, Realist, Feminist + Historical Materialist IR, the course will turn towards ways of doing IR otherwise - from beyond the canon. We will cover the issue of racism in the canon and in international politics; the ethnocentrism of IR theory and efforts to construct an other, global IR; and a number of recent 'turns' in IR - the turn towards emotions; Queer IR; and Everyday IR. We will conclude with a sociological view of the IR canon and IR turns.
