Coming Up Soon: Strengthening International Relations Through Transformative Theory and Practice [Forthcoming 2025].

The sixth great debate is still ongoing. It will probably not end until the termination of the war in Ukraine and Israel. The voices of academics who have already taken part in this debate add a unique perspective to the main current of this debate. If we want to strengthen conflict management and reanimate our conflict resolution endeavors, IR theory must revamp its methodology to increase accessibility for everyone, regardless of background. This process was initiated in the publication titled Dealing with Regional Conflicts of Global Importance (2024) followed by Analyzing Global Responses to Contemporary Regional Conflicts (2024) and Interdisciplinary Aspects of Conflict Management (2024).

The main observations of this part of the debate will be integrated into the main current of the sixth great debate in IR theory, which revolves around clarity in describing various stages of any given ongoing regional conflict of global importance, which in turn contributes to the broader efforts to devise the most applicable solutions to ongoing confrontations and tensions between various countries and other non-state actors. The ideas discussed in this edition lead us to a speedy integration of the sixth great debate in international relations theory into the main currents of IR theory that will inherently revolve around the imperatives of clarity, accountability, and transformative compartmentalization.
