International Relations Theory and the Third World

International Relations Theory and the Third World is a collection of essays dealing with international relations theory from the perspective of non-great power actors. The book was edited by professor Stephanie Neuman and published in 1998 by St. Martin's Press. The book was among the first mainstream publications to deal extensively with third world theory. Robert Jervis called the essays in the book "informative and provocative".
