The Routledge handbook of ideology and international relations

The Routledge Handbook of Ideology and International Relations is part of the “Routledge Handbooks on Political Ideologies, Practices, and Interpretations” series, and has been written by two authors and various contributors. The main author is Jonathan Leader Maynard, a lecturer at King's College London, one of the 10 leading universities in the United Kingdom, and the second author is Professor Mark L. Haas, a lecturer at Duquesne University in the United States. In the book, which examines the effect of ideology on international relations, both authors critically address the issues of ideological polarization, ideological disagreements, and conflicts of interest between countries in foreign policy matters. The content of the book comprises four main chapters. The first chapter analyses the relationship between ideology, nation, and state; the second addresses the issues of ideology and conflict; the third reviews the transnational dimension of ideology; and the final presents an evaluation of the ideological strategies and transnational relations of such countries and regions as India, Latin America, Central Asia, China, Africa, Russia, United States, Europe and the European Union and South Korea.
