🔹Marxism: Focuses on economic structures, class struggle, and the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie. In IR, it emphasizes the inequality between wealthy and poorer nations.
Example: Global South countries being economically exploited by more powerful nations through unfair trade agreements.

🔹Postcolonialism: Analyses the effects of colonialism and imperialism on modern international relations. Focuses on the ongoing inequality and marginalisation of formerly colonised nations.

Example: The West's continued political and economic influence in the Middle East, often seen as neo-colonialism.

🔹English School: Sees international relations as a "society of states" where states, while sovereign, follow common rules and norms that create some order, even in an anarchic system.

Example: Diplomatic protocols & shared international laws, even among rivals.

🔹Neorealism/Neoliberalism: Modern versions of realism and liberalism that focus on the structure of the international system. Neorealism emphasises power dynamics, while neoliberalism stresses the role of institutions in promoting cooperation.

Example: Balance of power during the Cold War (Neorealism) and the role of NATO or the World Trade Organisation (Neoliberalism).

🔹Critical Theories: These theories question the assumptions and foundations of mainstream IR theories, focusing on power structures, inequality, and marginalised perspectives.

Example: Poststructuralists question the legitimacy of state sovereignty and explore how language shapes power dynamics in international relations.
