Preferred term

postmodernism in international relations  

Definition(s)

  • Postmodernism names an increasingly varied set of intellectual strategies that, in contradistinction to the rational empiricist method of mainstream international relations thinking, in particular, and political science, in general, foregrounds the interpretive, ethical, and/or political nature of international relations scholarship (see particularly, Robert Walker, 1993). Its general aim is to test the limits and assumptions of our forms of knowledge of the political world and open up alternative ways of conceiving and practicing the political.
