Course Description Theory, as suggested by Smith and Baylis, is a kind of simplifying device that allows those who use it to decide which facts matter most or do not (Steve Smith & John Baylis, 2001. ‘Introduction’, in; John Baylis & Steve Smith (eds.) The Globalization of World Politics, 2nd edition, Oxford, p. 2). As such, theories of international relations (TIR) are devices that allow us to make sense of international relations. This course is about these devices. It will survey and discuss well established major TIR and other alternative ones developed in responding to the well established TIR. Equally, as the dynamics of the field of international relations continue to be marked by the influenced of accelerating globalization, the course also seeks to explore the possible future development of new TIR. This is important because ‘theories do not simply explain or predict’ but theories also ‘tell us what possibilities exist for human action and intervention’ (Steve Smith, 1996. ‘Positivism and beyond’, in; Steve Smith, Ken Booth & Marysia Zalewski (eds.) International Theory: Positivism and Beyond, Cambridge University Press, p. 13).
Main Objective – Expected Learning Outcomes Students are expected to have theoretical competence to describe, analyze, and critically examine actual international phenomenon using various TIR. Equally, students are expected to be more aware about existing possibilities that can allow humans to take action or intervention regarding the phenomenon of international relations.
