From the international community\nto warlords, from participation to effectiveness – international politics is\nreplete with powerful narratives and commonly held beliefs that qualify as\nmyths.

Further, it assembles case studies of specific myths in different fields\nof International Relations, including warfare, global governance,\ninterventionism, development aid, and statebuilding. The findings challenge\nconventional assumptions in International Relations, encouraging  academics  in IR and across a range of different fields\nand disciplines, including development studies, global governance studies,\nstrategic and military studies, intervention and statebuilding studies, and\npeace and conflict studies, to rethink ideas that are widely unquestioned by\npolicy and academic communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-06-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137537515\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-53752-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 313.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752416604300,"sku":"9781137537515","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137537515.jpg?v=1762353630","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137537515","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
