Originally published in 1998, The "Man" Question in International Relations looks the prevalence of man in the world of international relations. The book argues that, focusing on women as a way of changing the gender of international relations can position women as "the problem." The authors of this book suggest that the problem is not "woman" but "man." Rather than highlighting the absences and presence of women in the theories and practices of international relations, the authors concentrate on questioning the practices of masculinities, the hegemony of men, and the subject of "man." In this way, they hope to destabilize the field in ways that "adding women and stirring" has not.

THE STUDY OF IDENTITY OFFERS A POSSIBILITY TO THEORIZE ON THE HUMAN COLLECTIVES OF WORLD POLITICS, TO GIVE THEM AN ONTOLOGICAL STATUS, AND TO DISCUSS HOW THEY ARE CONSTITUTED AND MAINTAIN THEMSELVES. THE FIRST PART DISCUSSES SOCIAL THEORIZING OF COLLECTIVE IDENTITY ALONG THE ETHNOGRAPHIC, THE PSYCHOLOGICAL, THE CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHICAL, AND PARTICULARLY, THE "EASTERN EXCURSION" OF THEORIZING; BAKHTIN, LEVINAS AND KRISTEVA ARE LAUDED FOR JETTISONING A DIALECTICAL MODE OF ANALYSIS IN FAVOR OF A DIALOGICAL ONE WHICH RESPECTS DIFFERENCE. THE SECOND PART DISCUSSES HOW DER DERIAN, SHAPIRO, CAMPBELL, THE "COPENHAGEN COTERIE" AND WENDT HAVE BROUGHT THIS THEORIZING INTO IR, AND ASSESS THEIR WORK IN TERMS OF THAT DISCUSSED IN THE FIRST PART. THE STUDY OF IDENTITY FORMATION SHOULD DO AWAY WITH PSYCHOLOGIZING CONJECTURE AND FOCUS ON THE DRAWING ON SOCIAL BOUNDARIES AND THE ROLE PLAYED BY GROUPS WHO ARE AMBIGUOUSLY POISED BETWEEN THE SELF AND THE OTHERS. COLLECTIVE IDENTITIES ARE OVERLAPPING AND MULTIFACETED PHENOMENA WHICH MUST NOT BE REIFIED AND STUDIED IN INSOLATION FROM ONE ANOTHER.

This Introduction contextualises this special anniversary issue of the journal. The Editors of a previous 2013 special issue of the EJIR (The End of International Relations Theory?) asked if the paradigmatic "theoretical cacophony" in IR was deep and irresolvable. We argue that there is still very much a conversation going on across 'generalist' and specialised IR journals, and that renewal and broadening is more important than boundaries per se. Meanwhile the field of International Relations has continued to broaden, absorbing much from other social science disciplines in the process. Yet IR has a problematic relationship with interdisciplinarity, often discovering as 'new' what other fields have long debated and in turn 'domesticating' these insights from other fields by fitting them into existing IR paradigms. This special issue is thus aimed above all at what 'we' in IR are not seeing from other disciplines, and we go on to argue how IR scholars might best employ 'transdisciplinary' insights to ensure the future dynamism and innovation of the field. We argue that in this context, a special effort of critical and open engagement with work that makes us uncomfortable is required and that the very notion of inter-disciplinarity takes on a new form.

"Nothing illustrates better than the COVID-19 pandemic how movements of people, flows of data, and commerce connect our interdependent world. Because pathogens do not respect national borders, the SARS-CoV-2 virus caused a global economic shock and a worldwide downturn, sending governments throughout the world scrambling for policies to stop the spread of the disease while supporting their economies. As this book went to press, the crisis was still underway, with the arrival of several effective vaccines giving hope of a road back to normalcy. Many lessons will be drawn from the recent pandemic experience, but one is the importance of an international perspective for analyzing events of worldwide economic significance and countries' responses. The purpose of this book is to equip students with intellectual tools for understanding the economic implications of global interdependence. We have thoroughly updated the content and extensively revised several chapters. These revisions respond both to users' suggestions and to some important developments on the theoretical and practical sides of international economics."
