As Harle shows, identity politics are nothing new. Post-Cold War ethnic conflicts and genocides are mere examples in a tradition where political conflicts are seen as struggles between good and evil. This tradition extends from ancient Iranian Zoroastrianism and classical Greek political theory up to present day American, Russian, and European politics.Harle examines how conflicts between us and them are often represented as the struggle between the representatives of good and representatives of evil. The origin of this tradition—the struggle between good and evil—is found in ancient Iranian Zoroastrianism, soon adopted by Judaism, Christianity, and finally, Islam.The political doctrine was born in ancient Greece, where power struggles between the Greek city states, especially Athens and Sparta, were represented by Athenians as the struggle between democracy and tyranny. In the Middle Ages the tradition was applied to, for example, Antichrists, rival faiths, witches, Jews, Russians, and Muslims. In the modern world, examples of the tradition in American and Russian political cultures and politics, as well as Carl Schmitt's distinction between friend and enemy and its international implications, especially the EU, are examined. Finally, identity politics in Finland, Karelia, and Lapland are presented as a problem of the definition of Europe. Harle claims that phenomena like ethnic conflicts, political extremism, neo-Nazism, and anti-Semitism are nothing new and are not independent of one another; instead, as Harle shows, they are examples in a long chain of tradition and interconnected through that tradition. A provocative analysis for scholars and researchers in international relations, political history, and the history of ideas.

Harle focuses on the perennial issue of social order by providing a comparative analysis of ideas on social order in the classical Chinese political philosophy, the Indian epic and political literature, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, the classical Greek and Roman political thought, and early Christianity. His analysis is based on the religious, political, and literary texts that represent their respective civilizations as both their major achievements and sources of shared values.Harle maintains that two major approaches to establishing and maintaining social order exist in all levels and types of social relations: moral principles and political power. According to the principle-oriented approaches, social order will prevail if and when people follow strict moral principles. According to the contending power-oriented approach, orderly relations can only be based on the application of power by the ruler over the ruled. The principle-oriented approaches introduce a comprehensive civil society of individuals; the power-oriented approaches give major roles to the city-state, its government and relationships between them. The question of morality can be recognized also within the power-oriented approaches which either submit politics to morality or maintain that politics must be taken as nothing else than politics. This book is a contribution to peace and international studies as well as political theory and international relations.

Distinctive due to explicit and systematically developed links between international relations (IR) and related disciplines, this book addresses global and regional interactions and the complex policy problems that often characterise this agenda. Such enhanced communication is crucial for improving the capacity of IR to engage with concrete issues that today are of high policy relevance for international organisations, states, diplomats, mediators and humankind in general. Whilst the authors do not reject the present IR, they offer a wider research agenda with new directions intended not only for those IR scholars who are unsatisfied with the analytical power of the current discipline, but also for those working on 'international', 'foreign', 'global' or 'interregional' issues in other disciplines and fields of research. In this instance they pay particular attention to linking up with peace research, international political economy (IPE) and cultural political economy (CPE), sociology, political geography, development studies, linguistics, cultural studies, environmental studies and energy research, gender studies, and traditions of area studies.

This book focuses on the problems and issues surrounding the idea of Europeanism. The theory that common values would form the basis of a single European identity is argued against and the contributors concentrate on dualistic distinctions, especially the dichotomy of friend and enemy in European political and international thought, and suggest alternatives to them.

Perinteinen geopolitiikka tai geostrategia kuvasi ja selitti valtioiden välistä sotilaallista valtakamppailua. Sen rinnalle ovat nousseet talouden merkitystä korostava uusi geopolitiikka sekä geopoliittisen ajattelun ja tutkimuksen omaa poliittisuutta tutkiva kriittinen geopolitiikka. Muuttuva geopolitiikka esittelee geopolitiikan uuden näkökulman, geon politiikan tutkimussuuntauksen, jonka kohteena on maantieteellinen politiikka, toisin sanoen alueiden, rajojen ja politiikan yhteenkietoutuminen. Teoksen analyysit liikkuvat kaupunkitutkimuksesta valtiometaforiin ja feministisen geon politiikan tutkimukseen. Esimerkit avaavat mielenkiintoisia näkökulmia esimerkiksi Suomeen, Viroon, Kataloniaan ja Aasiaan. Kirjoittajat edustavat sekä maantiedettä ja aluetiedettä että politiikan, kansainvälisten suhteiden ja poliittisen historian tutkimusta. Teos on myös johdatus geopoliittisen ajattelun perusteisiin. Siksi se sopii oppikirjaksi erityisesti kansainvälisten suhteiden opetuksessa, valtio-opissa, maantieteessä, kulttuurien tutkimuksessa ja historiassa.

Ulkopolitiikka ymmärretään tavallisesti valtion toimintana suhteessa tosiin valtioihin. Samoin katsotaan, että ulkopolitiikan päätehtävä on edistää valtion etuja, erityisesti turvallisuuttaan, kansainvälisessä järjestelmässä voimasuhteet huomioon ottaen. Tämä teos haastaa tuon perinteisen näkökulman näkemällä ulkopolitiikan moniulotteisena ilminönä. Teos korostaa valtion toimintaa suhteessa kanssakäymisen sääntöihin, normeihin ja instituutioihin kansainvälisessä yhteisössä (sääntöpohjaisuuden kehittäminen). Samoin valtion suhdetta maailmanyhteisön (ihmiskunnan) kohtaamiin suuriin haasteisiin ja ongelmiin (esim. ilmastonmuutos). Kansainvälisessä järjestelmässä valtiot kamppailevat vaikutusvallasta. Kansainvälisessä yhteisössä ja erityisesti maailmanyhteisössä korostuu yhteistyö valtioiden ja muidenkin toimijoiden kesken. Teos korostaa ulkopolitiikan kokonaisuutta, sen kaikki ulottuvuudet on pidettävä kuvassa mukana. Sääntöperäisyyden kehittäminen sekä ihmiskunnan ongelmien hallinta ovat valtion ja muidenkin toimijoiden ulkopolitiikkaa. Maailmanpolitiikka oli vahvasti kehittymässä kohti kansainvälisen yhteisön ja maailmanyhteisön ulottuvuuksia ja painottui yhteistyöhön. Nyt asevarainen turvallisuusajattelu on palannut määräävään asemaan, ja elämme sota-ajan kovaa kansainvälisen järjestelmän ulkopolitiikan aikaa. On kuitenkin varmaa, että maailmaa ei voida rakentaa jatkuvan sodan ja asevaraisen turvallisuuden varaan. Myös sääntöpohjaisuuden ja maailmanyhteisön suurten ongelmien ratkaisemiseen on kiinnitettävä huomiota pysyvien rajojen ja muurien rakentelun sijasta. Tämä vaatii ulkopolitiikan tutkimuksen kehittämistä ja entistä kattavampaa ulkopoliittista keskustelua. Se edellyttää ulkopolitiikan moniulotteisuuden ja kokonaisuuden ymmrtämistä. Moniulotteisen lähestymistavan tueksi on kirjassa esitetty esimerkeiksi tarkoitettuja tapaustutkimuksia. Niiden kohteina ovat alan tutkimustoiminta, kirjallisuus, ulkopoliittinen päätöksenteko ja päätöksentekijöiden puheaineisto. Kirja sopii sekä tutkimusoppaaksi että itseopiskeluun ulkopolitiikan seurannan ja pohdinnan apuvälineeksi. Perussanoma on tämä: ulkopolitiikka ja sen kaikki ulottuvuudet ovat niin tärkeitä, että niitä ei voi jättää vain päätöksentekijöiden, median ja asiantuntijoiden yksinoikeudeksi.
