During the preceding <a href="/wiki/Middle_Ages" title="Middle Ages">Middle Ages</a>, European organization of political authority was based on a vaguely hierarchical religious order.

These principles underpin the modern international legal and political order. </p><p>The period between roughly 1500 to 1789 saw the rise of independent <a href="/wiki/Sovereign_state" title="Sovereign state">sovereign states</a>, <a href="/wiki/Multilateralism" title="Multilateralism">multilateralism</a>, and the institutionalization of <a href="/wiki/Diplomacy" title="Diplomacy">diplomacy</a> and the military. The <a href="/wiki/French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a> contributed the idea that it was the citizenry of a state, defined as the nation, that were sovereign, rather than a monarch or noble class. A state wherein the <a href="/wiki/Nation" title="Nation">nation</a> is sovereign would thence be termed a nation-state, as opposed to a monarchy or a religious state; the term <a href="/wiki/Republic" title="Republic">republic</a> increasingly became its synonym. An alternative model of the nation-state was developed in reaction to the French republican concept by the Germans and others, who instead of giving the citizenry sovereignty, kept the princes and nobility, but defined nation-statehood in ethnic-linguistic terms, establishing the rarely if ever fulfilled ideal that all people speaking one language should belong to one state only. The same claim to sovereignty was made for both forms of nation-state. In Europe today, few states conform to either definition of nation-state: many continue to have royal sovereigns, and hardly any are ethnically homogeneous. </p><p>The particular European system supposing the sovereign equality of states was exported to the Americas, Africa, and Asia via <a href="/wiki/Colonialism" title="Colonialism">colonialism</a> and the "standards of civilization". The contemporary international system was finally established through <a href="/wiki/Decolonization" title="Decolonization">decolonization</a> during the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a>. However, this is somewhat over-simplified. While the nation-state system is considered "modern", many states have not incorporated the system and are termed "pre-modern". </p><p>A handful of states have moved beyond insistence on full sovereignty, and can be considered "post-modern". The ability of contemporary IR discourse to explain the relations of these different types of states is disputed. "Levels of analysis" is a way of looking at the international system, which includes the individual level, the domestic state as a unit, the international level of transnational and intergovernmental affairs, and the global level. </p><p>What is explicitly recognized as international relations theory was not developed until after <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a>, and is dealt with in more detail below.

Constructivist theory would for example claim that the state leaders of the United States and Soviet Union were socialised into different roles and norms, which can provide theoretical insights to how the conflict between the nations was conducted during the Cold War. E.g., prominent US policy makers frequently spoke of the USSR as an 'evil empire', and thus socialised the US population and state apparatus into an anti-communist sentiment, which defined the norms conducted in US foreign policy. Other constructivist analyses include the discourses on European integration; senior policy-making circles were socialised into ideas of Europe as an historical and cultural community, and therefore sought to construct institutions to integrate European nations into a single political body. Constructivism is also present in the analysis of <a href="/wiki/International_law" title="International law">international law</a>, where norms of conduct such as the prohibition of <a href="/wiki/Chemical_weapon" title="Chemical weapon">chemical weapons</a>, <a href="/wiki/Torture" title="Torture">torture</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Human_rights" title="Human rights">protection of civilians in war</a>, are socialised into international organisations, and stipulated into rules. </p><p>Prominent constructivist IR scholars include <a href="/wiki/Michael_N._Barnett" title="Michael N.

Post-structuralism explores the deconstruction of concepts traditionally not problematic in IR (such as "power" and "agency") and examines how the construction of these concepts shapes international relations.

Feminist IR has not only concerned itself with the traditional focus of IR on states, wars, diplomacy and security, but feminist IR scholars have also emphasized the importance of looking at how gender shapes the current global political economy. In this sense, there is no clear cut division between feminists working in IR and those working in the area of International Political Economy (IPE). From its inception, feminist IR has also theorized extensively about men and, in particular, masculinities. Many IR feminists argue that the discipline is inherently masculine in nature. For example, in her article "Sex and Death in the Rational World of Defense Intellectuals" Signs (1988), Carol Cohn claimed that a highly masculinized culture within the defense establishment contributed to the divorcing of war from human emotion. </p><p>Feminist IR emerged largely from the late 1980s onward. The end of the Cold War and the re-evaluation of traditional IR theory during the 1990s opened up a space for gendering International Relations. Because feminist IR is linked broadly to the critical project in IR, by and large most feminist scholarship have sought to problematize the politics of knowledge construction within the discipline—often by adopting methodologies of deconstructivism associated with postmodernism/poststructuralism. However, the growing influence of feminist and women-centric approaches within the international policy communities (for example at the World Bank and the United Nations) is more reflective of the liberal feminist emphasis on equality of opportunity for women. </p><p>Prominent scholars include <a href="/wiki/Carol_Cohn" title="Carol Cohn">Carol Cohn</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cynthia_Enloe" title="Cynthia Enloe">Cynthia Enloe</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sara_Ruddick" title="Sara Ruddick">Sara Ruddick</a>, and <a href="/wiki/J._Ann_Tickner" title="J.
