While many theories of international relations are fiercely contested, it is usually
inappropriate to see them as rivals over some universal truth about world politics. Rather,
each rests on certain assumptions and epistemologies, is constrained within certain
specified conditions, and pursues its own analytic goal. While various theories may lead
to more or less compelling conclusions about international relations, none is definitively
‘right’ or ‘wrong’. Rather, each possesses some tools that can be of use to students of
international politics in examining and analyzing rich, multi-causal phenomena.
