“Through an eclectic set of case studies and a wide array of literature―and always written with elan―Kurt Jacobsen offers a sophisticated unmasking of the “masks of reason” in various areas of international politics. Positivist methods, constructivism, realism, counterinsurgency theory, and neoliberal economics pass under his critical eye, provoking readers to think on every pa
ge.” (Ken Booth, President of the David Davies Memorial Institute of International Affairs, Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University, UK, and Editor of International Relations)“Masks of Reason develops a rewarding methodologically pluralist overview of contemporary mainstream international relations scholarship, which turns to Mannheim, Freud, and the Frankfurt School to articulate a nuanced critique of the delusions and dysfunctionalities at the heart of “disciplinary IR.” From the failings of constructivist and rational decision-making analysis to the flaws in counterinsurgency doctrine and neoliberal development, Jacobsen's relationalist criticism unmasks why the orthodoxies of professional correctness must be left behind by international relations scholars to deal with today's domestic challenges and foreign threats.” (Timothy W. Luke, University Distinguished Professor, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, USA)

Descripción Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book takes radical aim at the conventional conduct of international relations analysis. It reexamines the role of ideas, the usefulness of psychoanalysis, the rage for and at rational choice, the influence of the public on foreign policy, counterinsurgency evangelism, and development orthodoxies at the national and genetic levels. Drawing a bead on conceptual blind spots prevalent both inside and outside the academy, the book urges scholars to reflect on how inner worlds shape the actions of their subjects-and their own research analyses, as well. 240 pp. Englisch.
