Beschreibung

The definition of realism is often debated by students of international politics. Thinkers such as Rousseau, Hobbes and Morgenthau are claimed as central to the realist tradition, but in this book Michael Williams re-evaluates their positions. He argues that such thinkers were not concerned with methodological issues of rationality and anarchy, as commonly interpreted by contemporary realist scholars. Rather, they wanted to establish political practices for leaders which would ensure order. This original interpretation of major thinkers will interest scholars of international relations and the history of ideas.
