Flipper,

This looks like it's been essentially your solo project, and as another person interested in patching up Wikipedia's deplorable IR content, I applaud you for your efforts. However, as a student of international relations myself, I'm unaware of any academics who refer to themselves as "rationalists." If there are a bunch of which I'm not aware, I think it would strengthen the article to include some names, articles, or other references that back up that this is a school of international relations thinking.

Ok I'll have a look around. But as far as I can see, on the internet at least, there is precious little information on this theory. I'll have a look through the 'further reading' section of my book; see if there's anything else there. Flipper24 (talk) 23:12, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to "The Globalisation of World Politics" 4th ed, p178 rationalism is a way of describing neo-realism, marxism and neo-liberalism in contrast to critical theories such as feminism as well as "constructivism" said to be a mid-point between rationalism/critical theories. If that is correct isn't this article completely wrong? 02:49, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

There are many different types of Rationalism - even within politics. The book that you are using was published in the United States by OUP, whereas the term 'Rationalism' in the context of this article is used only in Australia, as far as I know.
The book that I used for most of this article is an official VCE textbook. Flipper24 (talk) 03:36, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This paragraph moved here from the Rationalism page.

[edit]

In political contexts, the term rationalism is used to define the political belief that is mid-way between realism and internationalism.[1] It is used to describe the political belief that the world political order is not as chaotic as suggested by realists, but maintains a certain degree of order where nation-states do not violate others' sovereignty unless absolutely necessary. Whereas internationalism advocates a purely global and orderly approach to international affairs, and realism a purely individual and chaotic approach, rationalism appears to combine these two philosophies.

Is this really rationalism?

[edit]

I am really confused, because I was under the impression that rationalism was a umbrella term for theories that argue in a certain way (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/492034/rationalism), and can be contrasted with constructivist theories who argue that you can't find one truth in studies of any form of human interaction, because the behaviour of states and people is influenced by their culture and experiences, and your view of their actions is influenced by your culture and experiences. Neorealism and neoliberalism are for instance rationalist theories. (Apologies for the extremely bad explanation) Inkarnasjon (talk) 19:20, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
