Theories of International Relations - Tapa dura

Reviews of previous editions: "An outstanding textbook."--Andreas Bieler, University of Birmingham"One of the most useful books on International Relations theory to have appeared in recent years...a most valuable addition to the burgeoning literature in the field."--Chris Brown, "Political Studies" "A very fine book, bringing together a group of contributors who describe the major currents of International Relations theory. Beginning with 'liberal internationalism' and finishing up with 'green politics', the book is highly readable and illuminating for a subject not everyone finds accessible."--"RUSI Journal"

The fully updated and revised third edition of this widely used text provides a comprehensive survey of leading perspectives in the field including an entirely new chapter on Realism by Jack Donnelly. The introduction explains the nature of theory and the reasons for studying international relations in a theoretically informed way. The nine chapters which follow - written by leading scholars in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the US and the UK - provide thorough examinations of each of the major approaches currently prevailing in the discipline.
