Perspectives on structural realism
"Realism is not a single theory, but instead has many variants, and Realists do not always agree on specific points. While some might consider this a weakness, instead it demonstrates the vitality of a rich and vigorous tradition. As part of that tradition, this volume brings together leading Realists to explore the strengths, limitations, and new directions in Realist thought, especially its structural variant.
From rational choice to case studies, from theory to practice, the contributors explore both classic tenets of Realism, such as the balance of power, and such apparent inconsistencies as foolish policies.
Combining theoretical sophistication, respect for the tradition, and sensitivity to empirical and real world applications, the contributors here make a significant addition to the Realist literature."--Jacket.
