About the Book:

This volume delves into the influential work of Robert W. Cox across International Relations (IR), International Political Economy (IPE), and International Historical Sociology. Robert W. Cox, a pivotal figure in critical approaches to world politics, has made significant contributions to the inter-paradigm debate in IR, pioneered the Gramscian approach to IPE, and provided key insights into the roles of international institutions, capitalism, and the state. His more recent work, addressing intercivilizational encounters and intersubjectivity, continues to impact global political thought.

Through this comprehensive collection, the book provides a thorough introduction to Cox's theoretical contributions, engaging readers with the rich legacy of his work. It explores themes such as history, theory, political economy, and civilizations, making it an invaluable resource for both researchers and students. Whether you're studying world politics at the undergraduate or postgraduate level, this book offers essential insights into contemporary scholarship on global political issues.

This collection was originally published as a special issue of the journal Globalizations and is perfect for anyone looking to engage with Cox’s influential body of work.
