The purpose of this article is to open up a series of theoretical perspectives on the study of contemporary international organizations (IOs) & regionalism & to highlight the close connections that exist between the analysis of contemporary IOs, regionalism & the major theoretical debates in the academic study of International Relations. This article focuses on the various theoretical approaches to the study of IOs & regionalism. The ways analysts have studied those issues have changed dramatically over the last 50 or more years. It does not press the theoretical strengths of anyone school, but rather tries to give an idea of what the theoretical landscape looks like. Adapted from the source document.

This article analyses differences between scientific & technological co-operation & collaboration. International cooperation represents opportunities for partners, mainly strategic alliances. In North-South collaborations usually developed countries define the project/program & become the sole owner of the results. Opportunities & risks for countries such as Brazil are to recognize these differences. Tables. Adapted from the source document.

Thucydides & Giucciardini both acknowledged the existence of recurrent patterns in relations among states. The behavior of major powers is constrained by the specific characteristics of the international system, namely international anarchy, balance of power & the security dilemma. Balance of power theory establishes war as a state instrument in international conflicts. The balance of power is an essential mechanism for regulating equilibrium in international anarchy, including in mature international anarchy. Theory suggests that when the balance ceases to exist the risks of war increase. The rise of Asian powers may radically change the existing balances & enhances the risks of war among major powers.

This article draws the balance of Tony Blair's decade in terms of foreign policy. Our focus will be cast on its fundamental guidelines, having in mind the domestic context in 1997 & some of the crucial international crisis that took place during Blair's premiership. In our opinion, the primacy of an ethical & moralistic approach to international affairs & the reversal of Labour's traditional attitudes towards the EU & the US were its main features. A special emphasis is also given to London's role in international affairs after the September 11 attacks, & we conclude by trying to anticipate Gordon Brown's foreign policy line.

The discipline of International Relations is currently characterized by significant theoretical an epistemological diversity. The "past modern turn" is usually identified as a spin-off from the post-positivistic debate, & can be viewed as a similar outcome to other development occurring in the field of the human ties & the social sciences. This mutation of an imitatio scientia process to another process of imitatio post-modernum raises several questions, some e which are examined & discussed in this article, namely, the relations hi between knowledge, science & ideology & the reasons for the growing acceptance of the post-positivist approaches. Finally, the article makes, an appeal to the "deconstruction" ( this new orthodoxy & its ideological & epistemological strategies of legitimacy. Adapted from the source document.

This article aims at understanding the role of human rights in theories of IR. We will use three fundamental concepts, namely system, society & community, which are associated with three traditions of thought recognized by Martin Wight & also developed by Hedley Bull, as well as the methodological pluralism of the English School. We will pay special attention to the question of humanitarian interventions, which clearly show the dilemma between order & justice at an international level. The methodological pluralism of the English School reveals itself as a useful tool to understand how human rights are more than the mere adjustment of divergent interests, they are a community element lodged in a societal structure. This structure is fundamentally pluralist, in which humanitarian interventions are exceptions to non-intervention. Adapted from the source document.

This article argues that, among other things, one of India's main foreign policy goals is the attainment of a leading role in the international system. It analyses the concept of "great power" & identifies eight factors that sustain & legitimize India's bid for that status, such as her past as a great civilization, her hierarchical conception of the international system, her sense of discrimination, or the predominance of the Realist approach to international relations in her academic & diplomatic communities. It then proposes that this dimension should be taken into account in the explanation, analyses & foresight of India's foreign policy, as well as in the incentives that may facilitate her systemic integration, thereby minimizing the transition shock to regional & global architectures.

My article focuses on examining the significance of location in determining the manner in which the discipline of International Relations is schooled in India. Drawing from my biographical experience both as a student & teacher of International Politics at New Delhi, I shall grapple particularly with the question of what it means to be engaging a predominantly Anglo-American construct in a postcolonial milieu. Simply cast, how can issues relating to identity, power asymmetries & contextual Weltanschauungs be acknowledged without stymieing the possibility of a genuinely inclusive cosmopolitan conversation? Alternatively, is our quest for the magic potion to bridge existing hierarchies ultimately yet another elusive fiction especially for those at the margins of the global episteme?
