| Description: |
With the end of the Cold War & the emergence of a world system without clear ideological divisions, some commentators have suggested that we are living in a world without meaning. The contributors to this volume contest that view, while advocating a pluralistic conception of meaning in a globalized world. |
| Synopsis: |
This innovative volume brings together specialists in international relations to tackle a set of difficult questions about what it means to live in a globalized world where the purpose and direction of world politics are no longer clear-cut. What emerges from these essays is a very clear sense that while we may be living in an era that lacks a single, universal purpose, ours is still a world replete with meaning. The authors in this volume stress the need for a pluralistic conception of meaning in a globalized world and demonstrate how increased communication and interaction in transnational spaces work to produce complex tapestries of culture and politics. Meaning and International Relations also makes an original and convincing case for the relevance of hermeneutic approaches to understanding contemporary international relations. |
