6 Topic 1 History and Evolution of the International System Since IR theory is informed by the realpolitik, it is useful to track the major events in the international system from the birth of the modern state system to the current 21 st century. The main question to be addressed here is how did international events influence the major International Relations theories and approaches which emerged in the post-westphalian era. Readings: Schmidt, Brian C. Lessons from the Past: Reassessing the Interwar Disciplinary History of International Relations. International Studies Quarterly, Sept 98, Vol. 42, Issue 3 Ebsco Host (27p) At the Caspian Sea University: Rourke, John T., International Politics on the World Stage (Tenth edition).
