Who are Westfem, SAR, Tsitsi, SUKA, Mother Courage, SICC, and GORP, and what insights do they offer on contemporary international affairs? This book presents a thought-provoking introduction to pressing global issues through dialogues crafted by prominent figures in international relations research. Covering topics from the New World Order to postmodernism's impact on the deconstruction of the Soviet Union, the narrative unfolds through five distinct “dialoguers.” These characters include a Senior American Researcher, British and feminist counterparts, a young Western feminist, her Third World alter ego, a skeptical citizen, and elusive postmodern figures. The dialogues capture a spectrum of perspectives—youth and age, male and female, realist and idealist, science and art, Western and Third World. As the characters engage in conversation, their defenses dissolve alongside the Berlin Wall, mirroring the unraveling of American hegemony, the Soviet republics, and gendered perceptions of reality. This engaging exploration of theory, issues, and controversies in international relations appeals to both scholars and general readers, making it an ideal resource for students eager to “listen in” on discussions that are redefining international political thought and action.
