The Production of Space

Drawing upon philosophy and social theory, Social Theory of International Politics develops a theory of the international system as a social construction. Alexander Wendt clarifies the central claims of the constructivist approach, presenting a structural and idealist worldview which contrasts with the individualism and materialism which underpins much mainstream international relations theory. He builds a cultural theory of international politics, which takes whether states view each other as enemies, rivals or friends as a fundamental determinant. Wendt characterises these roles as 'cultures of anarchy', described as Hobbesian, Lockean and Kantian respectively. These cultures are shared ideas which help shape state interests and capabilities, and generate tendencies in the international system. The book describes four factors which can drive structural change from one culture to another - interdependence, common fate, homogenization, and self-restraint - and examines the effects of capitalism and democracy in the emergence of a Kantian culture in the West.

Global political geography is undergoing a revival of scholarly interest after years of relative neglect. The three books under review provide a good cross-section of recent thinking, addressing three of its primary concerns: the role of geographical scale (local, regional, national, global, etc.) in establishing political identities; geopolitical practice as a form of power/knowledge; and shifts in the “mix” of geographical scales at which the world economy and, increasingly, world politics are organized. Herb and Kaplan claim that political identities can no longer be equated with fixed or stable national ones. AŇ Tuathail argues that geopolitical content is implicit in the very practice of foreign policy. Scott suggests that the world is in a period of transition from a political geography based primarily on a mosaic of state territories to one organized with reference to an emerging network of global city-regions. Each book offers an approach to contemporary international studies that scholars largely ignorant of the revival of political geography may find interesting and useful.
