Preferred term

postmodernist view of power in international relations  

Definition

  • Any definition of a “postmodernist view” in international relations (IR) would hardly do any justice to the diversity of views and approaches existing in postmodern IR theorizing. Yet, it can be confidently argued that postmodern approaches to power in international relations, as in many other academic disciplines, have been influenced heavily by the thought of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, and especially his writings on discourse, disciplinary power, governmentality, biopower, and resistance.
