Theory Talks is an interactive forum that concentrates on international relations (IR) issues, but from a primarily theoretical standpoint. It typically features interviews with top-tier and cutting-edge specialists who describe their work and relate it to current developments both in IR theory and real-world politics. By taking this approach, Theory Talks aims to offer both scholars and students a comprehensive view of the IR field and its most important practitioners.
