Providing an analysis of social order and international politics - not merely on their own or only in relation to one another, but also vis-a-vis social disorder and domestic politics - this book compares international and domestic anarchy. Following an introductory chapter, Chapter 2 gives a brief review of the literature on the assumption of "anarchy" in international relations. It could also be considered as a preliminary critique of this assumption. There is a continuation of this discussion in Chapter 3 but with an emphasis on "order" rather than anarchy. The dynamics of domestic anarchy are discussed in the following chapter. In Chapter 4 the assumption of international anarchy is placed within the broader theoretical framework and is scrutinized in light of the features and functions of a scientific theory and the implications of this are then related to the theories of international relations. Chapters 6 and 7 are case studies in which specific issues pertaining to Japan's foreign policy are discussed in the context of the transformation of power in world politics. The final chapter speculates about the future in line with the major questions raised and the arguments advanced in the preceding chapters.

Anarchy, Order and Power in World Politics: A Comparative Analysis (Routledge Revivals)

Routledge

This title was first published in 2002: Questioning the most fundamental assumptions of international relations theory, this absorbing work compares and contrasts domestic and international politics regarding the issues of order and disorder taking into account aspects of the two realms which have been neglected by scholarship until now. Challenging the view that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the absence of a world government and international anarchy and that durable and genuine cooperation among sovereign states becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible, under the circumstances, this text is suitable for upper-level undergraduates, graduates and scholars of international relations.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This monograph addresses the complexity of China-Africa and Japan-Africa relations from a comparative perspective. The volume is divided into five sections. Section I focuses on the divergent perspectives that are reflected in the discourse on China-Africa relations. Section II discusses Japan's economic modernization and its potential lessons for Africa. Section III compares the foreign policies of Japan and China in Africa and analyzes their supposed rivalries on the continent. Section IV explores the relationship between Southeast Asia and China and its relevance to Africa-China relations. Section V provides an in-depth case study of Ethiopia-China relations over the last century. The book fills a major gap in the existing literature on the triad of Africa, China, and Japan. Under the guidance of the disciplines of African studies, international relations, political sociology, and international political economy, this volume elucidates and examines the complexities of the foreign policies of the two Asian powers toward Africa as well as their economic, political, and cultural underpinnings. &nbsp;
