Since the 1980s, the discipline of International Relations has seen a series of disputes over its foundations. However, there has been one core concept that, although addressed in various guises, had never been explicitly and systematically engaged with in these debates: the human. This volume is the first to address comprehensively the topic of the human in world politics. It comprises cutting-edge accounts by leading scholars of how the human is (or is not) theorized across the entire range of IR theories, old and new. The authors provide a solid foundation for future debates about how, why, and to which ends the human has been or must (not) be built into our theories, and systematically lay out the implications of such moves for how we come to see world politics and humanity's role within it.

This book is one of the first to systematically examine the debate about global order in International Relations from an ecological perspective.Bringing together an international team of expert contributors, chapters offer a well-rounded exploration of the ecological view on world order from a diverse mix of cultural and theoretical backgrounds. The book provides a nuanced understanding of the social structures underlying specific world political challenges and offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of various global orders and their implications for international affairs.

Autoren aus dem politischen und akademischen Kontext diskutieren diese Frage sowohl im Hinblick auf grundlegende begriffliche Spannungsverhältnisse des Diskurses, dem historischen und gesellschaftlichen Fundament, als auch bezüglich der grundlegenden außenpolitischen Instrumente und Ziele deutscher Außenpolitik.

Gegenwärtige Strategiebildungsprozesse müssen sich mit einer ihnen konstitutiv eingelassenen, zentralen Spannung befassen: Auf der einen Seite präsentieren sie sich stets als fixierte Form, stehen aber andererseits einer sicherheitspolitischen Umwelt entgegen, die dynamischer ist als jemals zuvor.
