The Ethics of Neoliberal Institutionalism
Contemporary liberal institutional theory, originating in an enhanced awareness of interdependence in the 1970s, broke with earlier liberal thought in accepting some of the central assumptions of realist theory and defining itself solely in empirical terms. To the extent that normative presuppositions or implications may nonetheless be discerned, they remain implicit. This article focuses on the most prominent theoretical school, usually termed ‘…

Contending Liberalisms in World Politics: Ideology and Power
This wide-ranging critique of current endeavors to construct a world order based on neoliberal ideology comes not from a standpoint opposed to liberalism, but from within liberalism itself. After introducing the theme of contending liberalisms, Richardson traces the emergence over time of a distinctive liberal view of international relations and reviews the present state of liberal IR theory. He then turns to neoliberal ideology, examining it in …
The ‘End of History’?
Francis Fukuyama’s ‘end of history’ image (1989) epitomized the triumphalist mood in the United States as the opening of the Berlin Wall led to the rush of events which culminated in the breakup of the Soviet Union. 2 In a crude sense the ‘end of history’ was taken to signify the end of the great twentieth-century conflicts: the triumph of liberal democracy over communism held out the prospect of a peaceful ‘new world order’ in line with the libe…
Contending Liberalisms: Past and Present
The claim that the ending of the Cold War signifies the triumph of Western liberalism — irrespective of whether this is celebrated or deplored — overlooks the extent to which the liberal tradition, as commonly understood, incorporated radical differences within it. These often shaped the major political cleavages of the time — between Whigs and radicals, Girondins and Jacobins, the liberalism of privilege versus the liberalism of egalitarian demo…
Crisis Diplomacy: The Great Powers since the Mid-Nineteenth Century
Although much has been written on international crises, the literature suffers from a lack of historical depth, and a proliferation of competing theoretical frameworks. Through case studies drawing on the rich historical experience of crisis diplomacy, James Richardson offers an integrated analysis based on a critical assessment of the main theoretical approaches. Due weight is given to systemic and structural factors, but also to the specific hi…

The Academic Study of International Relations
Hedley Bull’s approach to the study of international relations is usually identified with his influential critique of behaviouralism, published in World Politics in 1966, ‘International Theory: The Case for a Classical Approach’.1 From one perspective this stands as the classic refutation of the pretensions of the behaviouralist school, from another as the classic illustration of the wrong-headedness and obscurantism of the traditionalists. While…
New insights on international crises
It is not surprising that international crises have become a subject of intensive study in the nuclear age. The example of Sarajevo stands as an awesome warning of the repercussions which can flow from an apparently minor incident. The Cuban missile crisis seemed for a time to suggest guidelines by which crises could be successfully 'managed', but the dangers of generalizing from an optimistic reading of that unique case have come to be widely ap…
New Perspectives on Appeasement: Some Implications for International Relations
Historical research since the opening of the British archives in the late 1960s has brought about a substantial revision of the image of appeasement that had generally been accepted after World War II. Yet the traditional image has scarcely been questioned in contemporary writing on international relations. This article examines some of the central themes in recent studies relating to appeasement: the “structural” approach, which offers a new ove…

Australian Foreign Policy under the Labor Government
This article discusses the foreign policy of Australia's new government, in particular the extent to which its policies, as is widely suggested, represent a sharp break with the past. Australia long accepted the role of 'junior partner', first of Britain, then of the United States. The change of government in December 1972 coincides with changes in the international system which necessitate a basic reassessment. It is argued that in the fields of…
Cold-War Revisionism: A Critique
The writings of the so-called Cold-War revisionists have had a powerful impact in recent years. In the case of the new generation coming to political awareness, analogies drawn or suggested between Vietnam and the period of the origins of the Cold War carry immediate conviction: many others have had their image of contemporary history challenged or even shattered, and those not persuaded by the revisionist case would acknowledge that important qu…
