International Theory: Critical Investigations - Hardcover
Realism. Historical, social, philosophical, political, economic, legal realism. Machiavellian, Hobbesian, Rousseauian, Kissingerian realism. Classical and scientific realism. Positivist, post-positivist, liberal, neoliberal, radical realism. Sur-, super-, photo-, anti-, neo-, post- realism. And now on your computer screens and supermarket tabloid racks, hyper-realism.
Clearly, realism now comes in many flavors, and everyone has their favorite. Yet in the realm of international relations the meaning of realism has more often than now been presented as uniform, self-evident and transparent. This volume combines the new with the old, by reinvestigating realism through a dialogue between classical international theory and critical theoretical challenges to it. It signals the arrival of a broader range of realisms for a newly multipolar, multicultural international relations.
The collection begins where classical realists began, with `diplomatic investigations' into the limits and possibilities of international theory. These essays are coupled with critical investigations in order to call into question the natural hegemony of traditional realism. Contributors include Martin Wight, Hans Morgenthau, J. Ann Tickner, Hedley Bull, Richard Ashley, Robert Keohane, and Jean Bethke Elshtain.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. [From the library of noted scholar William E. Connolly.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Shelf wear. Binding slightly cocked. Pages unmarked. "William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication.' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change." - Johns Hopkins University.
