Looking Back - But Mostly Forward
Strange, Susan. “Looking Back - But Mostly Forward.” Millennium: Journal of International Relations 11, no. 1 (1982): 38-49.
In this survey article, Strange looks back across the first ten years of Millennium to examine the development of International Relations, although as she makes plain she prefers the term International Studies. Having seen the field expand from a focus on the foreign polices of various states, she maps the increasing interest in the international system itself. However, she then argues that what is now needed is a further development of research into the structures of this system. This acts as a useful complement to the final section of ‘Cave! Hic Dragones: A Critique of Regime Analysis’ (1982) giving a discipline based context for her arguments regarding the development of her research programme for International Political Economy.
