Petar Popović

Sažetak
In this article, the author analyzes the International Relations (IR) liberal theory
and its ‘interdependence’ paradigm. The first part presents the liberal ‘interdependence’
paradigm by defining the state and power as the key elements
of every political science analysis, including the IR theory. The second part
overviews the academic critique of the IR liberalism, as a methodologically
outdated and historically disputed theory. Finally, the third part focuses on the
contemporary ‘interdependence’ paradigm as crucial for understanding the
current international processes in the global society. The goal of this article is
to present the reevaluation of the contemporary IR liberal theory in the ‘real
world politics’, and indicate the possible directions of its ongoing theoretic
development.
