Routledge Library Editions: International Relations: Essay Collections In International Relations: A Classified Bibliography (volume 10)

One of the major forms in which scholarly research and analysis in international relations has appeared since the Second World War is the collection of essays by several authors. This may be associated with an occasion, honour a distinguished scholar, form the published record of a conference, or result from the initiative of an editor who commissions a series of original papers on a theme or problem.In content and style these essays vary widely and include the ephemeral pièce d'occasion, the reflective essay, and the substantial research paper. As reviewers are fond of remarking about such collections, the quality is often uneven and the topics sometimes ill-connected. Whatever the merits of a volume as a whole, however, a particular contribution worthy of notice loses its individuality under the cover of the editor's name and the broad or uninformative title that such a book often bears. This bibliography, originally published in 1977, details original material on international relations since 1870 written in English and appearing in non-recurrent multi-author works published between 1945 and 1975. The authors have distinguished between core topics such as foreign policy, defence, and international organisation, and peripheral areas such as interntional economics, international law and diplomatic history. Essays have been selected which make an enduring and substantial contribution to the study of IR. . The 10 volumes in this set, originally published between 1959 and 1986, analyze the process of radical foreign policy change, explore Marxist-Leninist models of international relations, describe the significance of cultural relations in international affairs, highlight the changing nature of political communities and changing patterns of government and examine the interaction between the realms of ethics and international relations. 1.
