The Balance of Power in International Relations

Více o knize

The book explores the concept of the balance of power, framing it as a metaphor, myth, and model within international relations. Richard Little reassesses four influential texts—Morgenthau's, Bull's, Waltz's, and Mearsheimer's—using this framework to deepen the understanding of international politics. Through these analyses, he aims to create a more comprehensive model that reflects the complexities of power dynamics in global affairs, highlighting the evolution of thought in international relations over the past five centuries.
