This analytical paper requires you to choose any two “alternative” theories — among them, Marx (by way of Lynch and others), Dependency Theory, (Dos Santos), Strange, Globalization (by way of Rosenau), and, if you want to look ahead, Constructivism (by way of Wendt), Feminism Theory, and Green Theory.
Explicate and analyze each theory in thorough detail.
Then, explain to what extent each theory’s contributions and critiques differ from those offered by realist and liberal theorists.
You should also critically evaluate each theory. Ask yourself: does it represent an “improvement” on what we find in the older theories (realism and liberalism), or not? If yes, why, and if not, why not?
Be sure that you’re clear on what makes your theories “alternative” per se.
