Since the end of the Cold War, until at least the end of 2010, there has been a wide consensus shared by American academics, political commentators and policy makers: the world was unipolar and would remain so for some time. By contrast, outside the US, a multipolar interpretation prevailed. This volume explores this contradiction and questions the Neorealist claim that polarity is the central structuring element of the international system. Here, the author analyses different historic eras through a polarity lens, compares the way polarity is used in the French and US public discourses, and through careful examination, reaches the conclusion that polarity terminology as a theoretical concept is highly influenced by the Cold War context in which it emerged. The book is an important resource for students and researchers with a critical approach to Neorealism, and to those interested in the defining shifts the world went through during the last twenty five years 001358310 650_0 $$aPolitical science. 001358310 650_0 $$aWorld politics. 001358310 650_0 $$aInternational relations. 001358310 650_0 $$aPolitical Science and International Relations 001358310 650_0 $$aUS Politics 001358310 650_0 $$aEuropean Politics 001358310 651_0 $$aEurope$$xPolitics and government. 001358310 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government. 001358310 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001358310 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDe Keersmaeker, Goedele.$$tPolarity, Balance of Power and International Relations Theory.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 2017$$z9783319426518$$z3319426516 001358310 852__ $$bebk 001358310 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-42652-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001358310 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1358310$$pGLOBAL_SET 001358310 980__ $$aBIB 001358310 980__ $$aEBOOK 001358310 982__ $$aEbook 001358310 983__ $$aOnline 001358310 994__ $$a92$$bISE
