Whether economic interdependence is a cause of war or peace constitutes a central debate in international politics. Two major approaches advance diametrically opposed claims: liberal theory holds that interdependence between states promotes peace by increasing the costs of war; realist theory argues that interdependence is just another word for vulnerability, a condition that states may try to escape by seizing the resources and markets they need for self-sufficiency. Considerable evidence supports both of these claims. In Economic Interdependence and War, Dale Copeland proposes to resolve this stalemate by showing that interdependence promotes peace when states expect mutually beneficial trade to continue, but creates incentives for war when at least one of the states expects that trade trends will leave it dangerously vulnerable. Notwithstanding this book's major theoretical contributions and its impressive historical research, it leaves open several important questions about how to move forward with its agenda of theoretical development and testing.

The article looks at the politics of the European Union’s policies towards China, using the liberal theory of international politics of Andrew Moravcsik as a framework for analysis. It concludes that these policies are structurally fragmented, incoherent and inconsistent because of the way they are formulated and implemented. The preponderance of commercial preferences and the insistence on national sovereignty are crucial to understanding why this is the case. As a consequence, the European position in the bilateral relationship is weakened and the relationship itself is unbalanced.

Este artigo busca demonstrar como argumentos centrais da obra de autores clássicos da Política identificados com o pensamento liberal foram incorporados no início do século XX como base fundadora da teoria da Paz Perpétua na disciplina de Relações Internacionais. Desde então, uma gama de autores contribuiu na elaboração do modelo teórico liberal da Política Internacional. O liberalismo, no campo das ideias, foi derrotado pelo realismo nas discussões teóricas na origem da disciplina ao longo do século XX. Entretanto, retornou ao debate durante os anos 1970. O auge do pensamento político liberal na construção da chamada Paz Perpétua na disciplina de Relações Internacionais ocorreu no fim do século XX, a partir da teoria da interdependência. Contudo, no início do século XXI, a tese liberal caiu em descrédito, consolidando a possibilidade de renovação do debate teórico para além da dicotomia clássica Liberalismo X Realismo na Política Internacional.Palavras-chave: Clássicos da Política; Teoria Liberal da Paz Perpétua; e Política Internacional.  Abstract: This article seeks to demonstrate how central arguments in the work of classic Politics authors identified with liberal thought were built in the early XX century as the founding basis of the theory of Perpetual Peace in the discipline of International Relations. Since then, a range of authors helped draft the liberal theoretical model of International Politics. Liberalism in the field of ideas, was defeated by realism in theoretical discussions at the origin of the discipline during the XX century. However, it returned to the debate during the 1970s. The heyday of liberal political thought in building called Perpetual Peace in the discipline of International Relations took place in the late twentieth century, from the theory of interdependence. However, at the beginning of the XXI century, the liberal theory fell into disrepute, consolidating the possibility of renewing the theoretical debate beyond the classical dichotomy Liberalism X Realism in International Politics.Keywords: Politics Classicals; Perpetual Peace Lliberal Theory; and International Politics.

This chapter by Nida Kirmani offers a rare academic study on Lyari. It historicizes Lyari’s development as a contradictory ‘no-go’ site of resistance, protest and gang warfare. This perspective is organized around two of Lyari’s most notorious protagonists, Rehman Dakait and Uzair Baloch. Drawing on narratives of fear that comprise and interweave into everyday life in Lyari, she analyzes the persistent question of the extent to which gang war constitutes politics, rather than being separate to or an obstacle to politics. Through a portrait of Rehman as a community ‘Robin Hood’ figure, Kirmani’s analysis describes a geographic mapping of the paradox of ‘military-humanitarianism’ at the level of local gang warfare. This both mirrors, and also provokes, some original insights into ways these projects are inextricably linked in national and international politics.
