The author explores some fundamental aspects of international cooperation, its functional incentives & structural limitations, by describing the discussion between two most influential approaches in international relations theory: neorealism & neoliberalism, or to be more precise, between defensive neorealism & neoliberal institutionalism. During the discussion on possibilities & limitations of international co-operation neorealism & neoliberalism showed their differences, but also similarities of views that resulted in their approach, which is called the neo-neo synthesis in international relations theory. The discussion, that has been going on for three decades in USA also reflects on the practical foreign policy decision-making in this country. The discussion contains the ideas that can serve as means to explain some foreign policy approaches in our country as well. References. Adapted from the source document.

Robert Keohane is a leading contemporary international relations scholar. His ideas and doctrines are important parts of neoliberal institutionalism. In his books Power and Interdependence, and After Hegemony: Cooperation and Discord in the World Political Economy, he has a unique perspective on power, a core concept of international relations, that differs from realism and constructivism. This paper uses documentary analysis to distill and summarize the discussion of power in Robert Keohane's work, which helps to systematically study the neoliberal institutionalist view of power and to make the classic theory show its charm beyond its time.

Textual analysis is used to eke out the complex, & often conflicting, ideologies that underlie discussions of globalization among "intellectual innovators" & to describe how these are implicated in the exercise of power. The core ideas embedded in the dynamics of neoliberal globalization are outlined, & four distinct ideological positions are identified: (1) the centrist neoliberal school; (2) internal criticisms of this school (reformist neoliberal institutionalism); (3) historical-materialist transformism; & (4) development transformism; key writings representing each position are noted. The conceptualization of globalization as an ideology of freedom vs one of domination reveals the intersubjective dimensions of the notion & its varied interpretations by different stakeholders according to their political & material interests.

Empire is best understood not as a singular territorial or economic entity or an arrangement of flows & accumulation of stocks but, rather, as a type of rule. That is, it is the relationships between ruler & ruled, & the mechanisms of rule, that are important in contemporary discussions of "empire." In today's American Empire, we see the mixing of two forms of rule: what is often called "neoliberal institutionalism" with "new sovereignty." In this commentary, I discuss the implications of such rule for global environmental politics. 18 References. Adapted from the source document.

Even though the number of summits of heads of state & government has steadily increased since World War II, political science has so far mainly ignored them. Based on the American-Soviet superpower summits, the world economic summits, & the world conferences under the auspices of the United Nations, this article shows that the three mainstream theories of international relations -- neorealism, neoliberal institutionalism & constructivism offer adequate explanations for those summits which fall into their historical context of emergence. The cooperation of states at the highest level & the theories about them are thus "children of their time". 3 Tables, 40 References. Adapted from the source document.

This book assesses how governance has evolved in six nations England, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands between 1970 and 2018. More specifically, it examines how the governance approaches and the sets of policy tools used to govern have altered with respect to four public policy sectors that represent core responsibilities of the modern OECD state: education, energy, environment and health. To structure this analytical approach, the book harnesses sociological institutionalism in the area of policy sequencing to trace both the motivations and the consequences of policy-makers altering governance approaches and the resulting policy tools. Combining a comparative and international focus, this book will appeal to scholars and students of public policy and governance.

This article examines various theoretical viewpoints, assessing their success in explaining Japan's current security policy towards China. With a variety of theoretically salient factors in place, including a dynamic balance of power, extant regional institutions, economic interdependence and a highly publicized pacifist identity, Japan's China policy presents a prime opportunity to test different international relations theories. We review four theories of interest, structural realism, neoliberal institutionalism, liberal interdependence and constructivism, finding limited support for structural realist and constructivist predictions. We then offer a neoclassical realist model, building from a realist foundation but accounting for the influence of state structure, strategic culture and parochial interests of governing elites.
