The volume is restructured into three parts: studying IR, major theories and approaches, and theory meeting the real world through policy and issues. New coverage emphasizes real-world relevance, including analysis of the current world order, an expanded chapter on climate change, and engagement with feminist and Global South perspectives, with end-of-chapter questions and updated online resources and glossary.","Introduction to International Relations  \n\nintroduction to  \nINTERNATIONAL  \nRELATIONS  \ntheories and approaches  \neighth edition  \nGEORG S Ø RENSEN | J Ø RGEN M Ø LLER | ROBERT JACKSON  \n􀀔  \n􀀖  \nGreat Clarendon Street, Oxford, OX2 6DP, United Kingdom  \nOxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford.

We were encouraged to stay with the basic aim and format of the book: a succinct and readable introduction to the major IR theories and approaches. However, we were also encouraged to put more emphasis on the relevance of these theories for real world developments. We have therefore altered the structure of this eighth edition. The book now comes in three parts: (1) Studying IR; (2) Major IR Theories and Approaches; (3)  \nTheory Meets the Real World: Policy and Issues.  \nThese are turbulent times, and as part of our attempt to make theories speak more directly to real world developments, we have followed suggestions to further review and discuss some of the key challenges that face the global community. A new Chapter 12 uses IR theories to shed light on the state of the present world order. How stable is it and to what extent does it live up to expectations about securing progress for states as well as for individuals? Second, we have included a substantial section on climate change as part of ‘major issues in IR’ in Chapter 11. This section describes the present challenges related to climate change and asks what the consequences are for international relations, and to what extent existing IR theories can help us make sense of these challenges. Third, we have expanded the engagement with a number of more recent theoretical perspectives, including feminist theories and theories from the Global South.  \nAll chapters have been brought up to date in the light of current international events and ongoing debates in the discipline. Questions linking theory to practice are included at the end of each chapter. The supporting website has been revised and expanded. A revised glossary with key terms is included at the end of the book.  \nWe are grateful for support from a large number of people.
