1 Critical theory A post-positivist approach to IR influenced by Marxist thought advanced by the 'Frankfurt School'. Critical theory rejects three basic postulates of positivism: 1. an objective external reality, 2. the subject/object distinction, 3. and value-free social science. Critical theorists emphasize the fundamentally political nature of knowledge. They seek to liberate humanity from the conservative forces and 'oppressive' structures of hegemonic (U.S.-dominated) world politics and global economics. Critical theorists are similar to idealists in their support for progressive change and their employment of theory to help bring about that change.
2 Neogramscianism Based on Machiavelli, Marx, Max Weber, Karl Polányi Power: exploitation and consent Consent leads to formation of a loyal civil society Historic blocs: determined by the hegemonic ruling classes Historical change: through the rivalry of hegemonic interest groups and counter-hegemonic interest groups Kees van der Pijl
3 Hegemonic states vs contender states Lockean heartland: England, USA Contender states: France, Germany, SU, China Rivalry England - France England, USA - Germany West - Soviet Union West - Islam West - China
4 Hegemonic states vs contender states Lockean heartland: England, USA (capitalist interest groups freeing themselves from the state and using the state for their own reasons) Contender states: France, Germany, SU, China (interest groups positioning themselves around the state and being controlled by the state) Rivalry England - France England, USA - Germany West - Soviet Union West - Islam West - China
