The Realist Tradition and the Limits of International Relations

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the foundational figures of realism in international politics, Michael Williams presents a fresh interpretation of Rousseau, Hobbes, and Morgenthau. He contends that these thinkers prioritized establishing political practices for leaders to maintain order, rather than engaging with contemporary debates on rationality and anarchy. This original perspective offers valuable insights for scholars interested in international relations and the evolution of political thought.
