Description: This book rethinks the key concepts of International Relations by drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu. This book offers an introduction to Bourdieu's thinking to a wider IR audience, challenges key assumptions, which currently structure IR scholarship - and provides an original, theoretical restatement of some of the core concepts in the field. The book brings together a select group of leading IR scholars who draw on both theoretical and empirical insights from Bourdieu. The chapters demonstrate how these concepts can be reinterpreted and used in new ways when exposed to Bourdieusian logic.
