Article Review

Abstract

This study falls under contemporary critical literature in the field of international studies, as it starts from a central issue suggesting that the field of international relations is no longer dominated by a 'grand theory' as it was during the Cold War decades. Instead, it is moving toward synthetic and selective approaches that try to combine multiple interpretive schools. The article begins with an implicit conclusion that leads the reader to the main idea, where the author raises an epistemological question about whether this shift represents a natural scientific development reflecting the complexity of the international reality, or if it indicates a theoretical crisis and the loss of a comprehensive explanatory framework capable of interpreting international behavior.
