This is a rich book and a thoughtful one... Rethinking Realism will no doubt become essential reading on what is still the most intriguing school of thought on International Relations.
The book's tight focus, comprehensive nature, and scene-setting introductory and concluding essays make it an invaluable resource for graduate students preparing to take comprehensive exams in the field. Highly Recommended.
A valuable contribution to the study of world politics.
This volume brings together some of the most interesting theoretical discussions the field has seen on realism in a number of years... the book provides the best overview of contemporary discourse on realism. The authors and editors break new ground and move beyond the old shibboleths. All those interested in the future of realism and whether (and how) it can move forward will want to read this book.
All those who think that realism is an exhausted topic should take this book as antidote. Unusually balanced and varied, Rethinking Realism in International Relations unites realists and critics alike for pushing realism outside the beaten path.
