Sommario/riassunto

An examination of the complex international system of the twenty-first century from a variety of perspectives. Proceeding from critical theoretical perspectives and incorporating case studies, the chapters focus on broad trends as well as micro-realities of a Post-Westphalian international system. The volume demonstrates that re-thinking fundamental assumptions as well as theoretical and methodological



premises is central to understanding the dynamics of interdependence.
