Diskursforschung in den Internationalen Beziehungen

This edited volume offers insight into discursive approaches developed in German International Relations (IR) research. It illustrates how discourse theory offers alternative answers to questions of IR, thus providing new insights into our understanding of international phenomena. The chapters assembled in this volume show how discursive approaches can be applied to empirical questions and illustrate their possible methodological and methodical implementation.
The edited volume is organized along prominent fields of IR research and contains chapters on international and German security politics, international and European institutions, on different policy areas such as the environment, development and technology politics as well as on questions of normative orders and international law.
With contributions by Cornelia Bruell, Thomas Diez, Katja Freistein, Eva Herschinger, Philip Liste, Chris Methmann, Martin Nonhoff, Judith Renner, Frank A. Stengel, Jochen Walter, Joscha Wullweber, and Aram Ziai.
