International Political Theory (IPT) focuses on the point where two
fields of study meet - International Relations and Political Theory.
It takes from the former a central concern with the 'international'
broadly defined; from the latter it takes a broadly normative
identity. IPT studies the 'ought' questions that have been ignored or
side-lined by the modern study of International Relations and the
'international' dimension that Political Theory has in the past
neglected. A central proposition of IPT is that the 'domestic' and the
'international' cannot be treated as self-contained spheres, although
this does not preclude states and the states-system from being
regarded by some practitioners of IPT as central points of reference.
This Handbook provides an authoritative account of the issues,
debates, and perspectives in the field, guided by two basic questions
concerning its purposes and methods of inquiry. First, how does IPT
connect with real world politics? In particular, how does it engage
with real world problems, and position itself in relation to the
practices of real world politics? And second, following on from this,
what is the relationship between IPT and empirical research in
international relations? This Handbook showcases the distinctive and
valuable contribution of normative inquiry not just for its own sake
but also in addressing real world problems. The Oxford Handbooks of
International Relations is a twelve-volume set of reference books
offering authoritative and innovative engagements with the principal
sub-fields of International Relations. The series as a whole is under
the General Editorship of Christian Reus-Smith of the University of
Queensland and Duncan Snidal of the University of Oxford, with each
volume edited by a distinguished pair of specialists in their
respective fields. The series both surveys the broad terrain of
International Relations scholarship and reshapes it, pushing each
sub-field in challenging new directions. Following the example of the
original Reus-Smit and Snidal The Oxford Handbook of International
Relations, each volume is organized around a strong central thematic
by a pair of scholars drawn from alternative perspectives, reading its
sub-field in an entirely new way, and pushing scholarship in
challenging new directions.
