Summary
"Is Western International Relations Theory relevant for the Third World? International Relations Theory and the Third World addresses the lack of scholarship devoted to Third World policy behavior by collecting the top analysts and showcasing them in this volume. The authors describe and examine the deficiencies of existing theory and present alternate explanations of Third World policy behavior. Taken together, their essays demonstrate how exploring the Third World experience can broaden and enrich our understanding of how and why states interact in the international system."--BOOK JACKET
