Dialectics in World Politics

This volume provides a critical resource for those deploying dialectics in their own research by showcasing its effectiveness for understanding and transforming world politics. Chapters show how dialectical thinking can benefit politics studies, including conceptual or meta-theoretical dimensions of dialectics; methodological features and general principles of dialectical approaches; and applications that deploy a dialectical approach to global politics. The book analyses the social forces and contradictions involved in the transformation of world politics, yet routinely downplayed in orthodox views on international relations. This book was published as a special issue of Globalizations.
