Kommentar/Beschreibung

Power is a core concept of the social sciences. At the same time, it is highly – perhaps “essentially” – contested. International Relations (IR) is no exception in this regard. What may add to the confusion is that, when reading IR theory, you may be left with two contradictory impressions: on the one hand, it may appear as though a concern with power – its sources, forms, and consequences – is the hallmark of a particular school of thought, to wit realism; on the other hand, you may just as easily be led to conclude that power operates as a shared point of reference of all IR theories, which, however, conceive of it in very different ways. In this seminar, we will first familiarize ourselves with competing or complementary concepts (or theories) of power that have gained traction in IR. Subsequently, we will examine how different notions of power play out in substantive research on world politics, with an emphasis on the sub-field of global governance.
