Abstract

Among some of the most impactful emerging paradigms in IR are constructivism, postcolonial theory, feminism, and green theory. Whereas realism and liberalism have historical evolution on their side, these theories (termed critical theories) are advantaged by their ability to speak to the experiences and unique conditions which are the reality of states and peoples on the margins of power and influence in the IR world (indeed which are deliberately overlooked by the exclusive focus on states by realism and on international organisations, powerful corporations, and individuals by liberalism).
