Die Autoren lassen mit Hilfe unterschiedlicher Theorien wie Konstruktivismus, System- und Kommunikationstheorie ein konsistentes Bild der menschlichen Wahrnehmung entstehen. Ziel ist es zu zeigen, dass die individuelle Wahrnehmung eine eigene Welt kreiert, die man jedoch durch eine andere Wahrnehmung jederzeit ändern kann. Werden hierfür im ersten Teil die theoretischen Grundlagen gelegt, bietet der praktische Teil dem Leser hilfreiche Instrumente, um seine sozialen Systeme zu beeinflussen. Die Autoren erläutern zentrale Grundbegriffe der Systemtheorie und des Konstruktivismus wie z.B. Autopoiesis, Viabilität, re-entry, Systemgrenze oder Kybernetik 1. und 2. Ordnung. Zudem weisen sie verblüffende Parallelen zur Neurobiologie und zur Funktionsweise unseres Gehirns nach.

In Gender, Class, and Freedom in Modern Political Theory, Nancy Hirschmann demonstrates not merely that modern theories of freedom are susceptible to gender and class analysis but that they must be analyzed in terms of gender and class in order to be understood at all. Through rigorous close readings of major and minor works of Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, and Mill, Hirschmann establishes and examines the gender and class foundations of the modern understanding of freedom. Building on a social constructivist model of freedom that she developed in her award-winning book The Subject of Liberty

The study of the EU's security and defence policy has until now lacked a comprehensive yet thorough and accessible volume on theoretical debates in the field. This timely volume addresses this and is an engaging assessment of the discussions about the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy. It brings together leading scholars in the field who present their respective theoretical viewpoints and illustrate how each has informed their empirical explorations. Pluralistic in its approach, the volume emphasizes the role of conceptual diversity for better explaining the EU's CSDP. It is a broad-range up-to-date survey that speaks to many of the theoretical debates in the field, including mainstream (neorealism, liberal institutionalism and strategic studies, sociological institutionalism), less mainstream (consistent constructivism and structural constructivism) and critical, inspired by neomarxism, Foucauldian approaches and the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu.

'The Social Evolution of International Politics' critically engages with all the key grand theories of international politics and provides interesting solutions to some of the 'great debates' between those theories, from realism and neoliberalism, to the English School and constructivism.
