I know what you mean, I remember first being interested in world politics when the US and UK were invading Iraq as it really scared me (I was 8 though). Postmodernism is amazing, along with neo-gramscianism. I'm painfully aware that most of my classes revolve around neo-gramscian theory, so I always find it really hard to understand neo-liberlism as a theory that can work in practice.
What is institucionalism? Is that like poststructuralism and Foucault's power theories?
