Introduction to International Political Theory (IPT)
INHALTE:
International Political Theory (IPT) is a new sub-discipline which is situated at the interface between International Relations (IR) Theory and Political Theory. As such, IPT reflects the effects of globalisation and relatedly the extension of politics and law beyond the sovereign territory of nation-states. In the process, traditional modern concepts of order, governance, justice and law are considered as increasingly contested. Neither normative nor explanatory frameworks are readily available in order to guide research and analysis of, for example, human rights, global democratic governance, climate change or global poverty among many other current global issues. As sub-disciplines in the social sciences, IR Theory and Political Theory offer quite radically distinct understandings of how IPT is or how it ought to be defined. At the same time, however, there is a growing agreement among representatives of both fields that mutual engagement with the other sub-discipline offers novel and compelling insights with a view to addressing global issues. The lecture series reflects these pre-conditions by focusing on core concepts and theories from both fields in the beginning, and then turning to a selection of current themes in international political theory such as, for example, (1) contested fundamental norms such as human rights, sovereignty or the rule of law; (2) changing orders such as political, legal, societal, economic or epistemic orders; and (3) changing representations of multiplicity in global society.
