1. What are the key problems with adapting Gramsci’s work to the concerns of contemporary IR theory? How might these problems be mitigated? Are there any which are insurmountable?
2. ‘It is as if the issues raised by feminism are not relevant to the international sphere and need not form part of the academic agenda for the study of international relations’ (Halliday 1988: 419). What are those issues and what is their relevance to IR? To what extent have they been marginalized in IR theory and why?
3. ‘IR provides little, if any, critical analysis of environmental issues. It treats environmental issues much like any other question of international governance, and does not consider the possibility that the study of environmental issues may require a reconsideration of its theoretical frameworks’ (Hovden 1999). With examples, explain how IR theory has traditionally been ill-equipped to deal with environmental issues, and make some recommendations for how it might improve its treatment of those issues.
