Drawing on the latest developments on differentiation theory in international relations and sociology, this book brings together contributions from leading IR scholars and sociological theorists to offer a unique interdisciplinary synthesis in which contemporary world politics is discussed as a differentiated social realm. Bringing Sociology to International Relations is an illuminating and innovative new resource for scholars and students which strives to respond to a significant question across all its chapters: what happens when this well-established sociological theoretical framework is transposed from the domestic level, for which it was originally designed, to the larger and more complex subject of international relations?1 aAlbert, Mathias,eeditor of compilation.1 aBuzan, Barry,eeditor of compilation.1 aZürn, Michael,eeditor of compilation.08iPrint version: z978110703900140uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139856041  c228348d228348
