The 1980s was a decade of upheaval unprecedented since the conclusion of World War Two. In 1980 superpower d tente had been abandoned and there was no sign of an end to the competition and conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union.

This volume brings together a number of scholars who review their own ideas alongside the writing of others to discuss how well their International Relations theories have survived the collapse of the Cold War. It asks a number of questions about how the Cold War should be conceptualised: why theorists overlooked the potential for change in Eastern Europe; why the Soviet Union shifted its foreign policy; the contribution of radical and feminist theory; and the future of International Relations theory itself.
