共産圏の崩壊と社会主義

抄録

The purpose of this article is to consider the evolution of international political theory in the post-world war II from the view of the rise and fall of communist society, and to construct the new paradigm in the post-communism era.
Because, a study of international political theory should start in the phenomenon of international politics, theoretical studies must suit the historical or empirical studies. Then, we must manage our studies in such a way that these theories are available to every phenomenon in international politics. Under these conditions, there is no limit to a theoretical evolution in the new era.
The conclusion of this article, seems to follow the former studies, which may be summarized as follows:
First, a theoretical study of international politics in the post-communism era should integrate micro and macro international political theory.
Second, a study of integration of the micro and the macro theory should produce feedback between the theoretical and the empirical analysis in the field where the both phenomena cross.
Thus, the ultimate aim of modern theoretical study is to assist scientists of international politics to discover the order in the post-communism era, and the order which is his scientist's personal share in the peace to be realized in the new era.
