In the past thirty years, international political economy and international relations have become increasingly mature in both empirical and theoretical research. Theorists of realism, liberalism, and constructivism have put forward many creative research agendas, providing us with many insights into the complex field of international politics, such as the interaction between conflict and cooperation, the impact of domestic political structures on foreign policy, the role of institutions, and the influence of worldviews and causal beliefs on decision-making. This book explores the development of these international political fields and provides a detailed examination from the perspectives of security research, organizational theory, and economics.
