Jack Donnelly Realism and International Relations. Cambridge University Press, 2000. 0521597528 viii/231 pages. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is new. ""Realism and International Relations" offers students a critical yet sympathetic review of political realism, the theory that for the past half-century has dominated international studies. Examining realist thinkers from Thucydides, through Machiavelli to Kenneth Waltz, Donnelly challenges standard realist claims and argues that realism is an insightful yet one-sided theory. Containing chapter-by-chapter guides to further reading and discussion questions for students, this book offers an accessible and lively survey of the dominant theory in International Relations."
