Foundations of International Relations Theory

By Dr. Radek Váňa

Foundations of International Relations Theory represents a collection of selected academic articles written by Dr. Radek V ňa between 2022 and 2024. These articles address some of the arguably biggest questions in international relations (IR) theory: the aggregation problem, the problem of incomparability of independent variables, and the theory-policy gap problem.
Building on the groundbreaking concepts of the author's The Drive Theory of International Relations, the book systematically develops a comprehensive framework to answer a central IR theory question: Why does any international relationship exist in its observed form? The chapters are thoughtfully arranged to guide readers through a new theoretical lens.
Written to be accessible to both students and professionals, the book includes practical examples to make complex theoretical frameworks understandable. While each article can be read on its own, they are arranged to build upon one another, providing a comprehensive and cohesive exploration of the foundations of international relations theory.
