Realism

First published in 1992. Martin Griffiths book provides a reinterpretation of the terms realism and idealism in international relations, and a thorough critical examination of three key figures in international theory: Hane Morgenthau, Kenneth Waltz and Hedley Bull. This is an important book proving a compelling basis for conceiving international politics as a rule-governed arena among states. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of international relations.
