{"product_id":"global-political-transitions-9789811603709","title":"Global Political Transitions","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book introduces the editors' new concept of \u0026amp;quote;Awkward Powers\u0026amp;quote;. By undertaking a critical re-examination of the state of International Relations theorising on the changing nature of the global power hierarchy, it draws attention to a number of countries that fit awkwardly into existing but outdated categories such as \u0026amp;quote;great power\u0026amp;quote; and \u0026amp;quote;middle power\u0026amp;quote;. It argues that conceptual categories pertaining to the apex of the international hierarchy have become increasingly unsatisfactory, and that new approaches focusing on such \u0026amp;quote;Awkward Powers\u0026amp;quote; can both rectify shortcomings on power theorising whilst shining a much-needed theoretical spotlight on significant but understudied states. The book's contributors examine a broad range of empirical case studies, including both established and rising powers across a global scale to illustrate our conceptual claims. Through such a novel process, we argue that a better appreciation of the de facto international power hierarchy in the 21st century can be achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53590674506007,"sku":null,"price":14978.1,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9789811603709.jpg?v=1782738638","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/global-political-transitions-9789811603709","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
