Declining or Waning
- Traditional Theories of International Relations:
There has been a noticeable reduction in papers solely relying on traditional theories of international relations, such as realism and liberalism, as scholars increasingly seek interdisciplinary and innovative frameworks. - Focus on Economic Development Alone:
Papers concentrating exclusively on economic development without a broader context of governance and political dynamics have become less prevalent, as the interconnectedness of political and economic factors gains recognition. - Static Analyses of International Treaties:
Research centered on static analyses of treaties and agreements has waned, giving way to more dynamic studies that consider the evolving nature of international commitments and compliance. - Unilateralism in International Politics:
The exploration of unilateralism as a standalone theme has decreased, as emphasis shifts toward multilateral approaches and the challenges faced by international organizations in fostering cooperation. - Historical Case Studies:
There has been a decline in the publication of historical case studies focusing on past international organizations or treaties, as current and emerging issues take precedence in the discourse.
