This book discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on international relations theories. As a phenomenon, AI is everywhere in the real world and growing. Through its transformative nature, it is simultaneously simplifying and complicating processes. Importantly, it also overlooks and “misunderstands”. Globally, leaders, diplomats and policymakers have had to familiarise themselve…

Why do states still need diplomats? Despite instantaneous electronic communication and rapid global travel, the importance of ambassadors and embassies has in many ways grown since the middle of the nineteenth century. However, in theories of international relations, diplomats are often neglected in favor of states or leaders, or they are dismissed as old-fashioned. David Lindsey develops a …
This book analyzes international affairs in the post-Cold War era by taking a special look at identity, norms and interests and the limits of liberal normative universalism.

There is hardly any aspect of social, political, and economic life today that is not also governed internationally. Drawing on debates around hierarchy, hegemony, and authority in international politics, this volume takes the study of the international “beyond anarchy” a step further by establishing the concept of rule as the defining feature of order in the international realm. The co…

The book further identifies boundaries of the relationships among the various governments of the world, transatlantic alliances, international organizations, n…
The present book proposes a framework for understanding long- term change in world politics in terms of social evolution. ‘Change’ deliberately includes the very emergence of world politics as a recognizable realm in its own right within the social world and its constant transformation thereafter. In order to provide such a framework, this book offers a condensed, yet quite far-reaching, r…

Powerful new technologies enable the collection, communication and analysis of national security data on an unprecedented scale. Data collection now plays a central role in intelligence practice, yet this development raises a host of ethical and national security proble…
A response to the depletion of the rhetoric of sociology and the spiritual capital of theology, this volume explores the remains of Christianity that still lurk as portents in a progressively de-Christianised society seeking replacements for belief. With the sociologist set in the role of an oracle seeking traces of Christianity in a discipline in which the intrusion of theological understandin…

This book is about homemaking in situations of migration and displacement. It explores how homes are made, remade, lost, revived, expanded and contracted through experiences of migration, to ask what it means to make a home away from home. We draw together a wide range of perspectives from across multiple disciplines and contexts, which explore how old homes, lost homes, and new homes connect a…
This book is concerned with applying the top-down approach of systems engineering to the development of a contribution to our understanding of society and the forces that drive its evolution. It is motivated by my assertion that we are currently at a critical point in this evolution and that a failure to recognise this could have unfortunate consequences. But for such recognition to develop and…
It was shortly after dawn one morning in May 1979 when my rattling Soviet-made black Volga passed through the mist-covered mountains of northern Vietnam and descended into Lang Son, near the border with China. A key bridge south of the town had collapsed and lay buckled on its side as a makeshift bamboo raft ferried people across the river. The ruins of the former brick hospital could be recogn…
Managerial Accounting includes pedagogical elements that engage and instruct students without cluttering the pages or interrupting student learning. Garrison’s key pedagogical tools enhance and support students’ understanding of the concepts rather than compete with the narrative for their attention.

The IEA International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) responded to this question by studying the extent to which yo…

This book challenges the conventional wisdom-one that has long been asserted by policymakers and cyber experts alike-that cyberspace is a dangerous environment prone to escalation. Rather than triggering increasingly severe patterns of violence, the evidence shows that cyber actions and responses generally follow a proportionate, tit-for-tat dynamic. Therefore, this book offers a theoretical fr…
