Despite a comprehensive debate on a global power shift, often discussed in terms of the decline of the United States, the crisis in the liberal international order, and the rise of China, IR´s main concept of power, 'polarity', remains undertheorized and understudied. The great powers and their importance for dynamics and processes in the international system are central to current debates on international order, but these debates too often suffer from a combination of politicized empirical analysis and reliance on old theoretical debates and conceptualizations, typically originating in the Cold War security environment. In order to meet these challenges, this book updates, conceptualizes, applies and critically debates the concepts of unipolarity, bipolarity, multipolarity and non-polarity in order to understand the current world order. 410 0$aGovernance, security and development. 606 $aInternational relations$2FBC 606 $aInternationale rerlationer$2FBC 606 $aInternational politik$2FBC 608 $aElectronic Books 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 7$aInternationale rerlationer 615 7$aInternational politik 686 $a327$223 686 $2z 702 $aHeurlin$b Bertel 702 $aGræger$b Nina 702 $aWivel$b Anders 702 $aWæver$b Ole 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910590084103321 996 $aPolarity in international relations$93363936 997 $aUNINA
