Post-modernism in international relations
Post-modern International relations approaches have been part of international relations scholarship since the 1980s. Although there are various strands of thinking a key element to postmodernist theories is a distrust of any account of human life which claims to have direct access to the "truth". Post-modern international relations theory critiques theories like Marxism that provide an overarching metanarrative to history. Key postmodern thinkers include Lyotard, Foucault and Derrida.[1]
Criticism
A criticism made of post-modern approaches to international relations is that they are too theoretical and not concerned with the real world.[2]
