A scholarly critique of International Relations theory that reconnects it with the broader concerns of political theory by focusing on the problem of order in world politics. Rengger examines how major IR traditions—such as realism (balance), liberalism (institutions), and the English school (society)—approach order, and contrasts them with critical perspectives that seek to end the problem of order through emancipation or limits. The book proposes a re‑conceptualization of order for twenty‑first‑century theory, challenging conventional accounts and arguing for a richer normative and methodological engagement across political theory and IR.
