Course Content
This course provides a critical analysis of different historical sociological approaches to international relations. It aims to provide a comprehensive account of international political and economic change. Can international relations be explained only as an interaction between states? What is the effect of war on social change? What is the relation between capitalism and the international state system? Does domestic class structure of societies and their economic transformation effect international change? This course will adress these questions in the context of different historical sociological approaches thus analysing the overlapping concerns of international relations, history and sociology.
