| Summary |
"Hans Morgenthau's classic text established realism as the fundamental way of thinking about international relations. Although realism has had its critics, the fact that Politics Among Nations continues to be used in international relations courses attests to its enduring value. Someone has said that the study of international relations has for half a century been nothing so much as a dialogue between Morgenthau, those who embrace his approach, and those who turn elsewhere for enlightenment. After more than 50 years, the dialogue between Morgenthau's ideas and scholars from around the world continues, with even greater relevance in a time where international terrorism has become the focal point in the field of international relations." |

"The new edition preserves Morgenthau's original work while adding an extensive, 40-page introduction by the editors, who explore the relevance of Politics Among Nations for a new era. The perspectives of a dozen statesmen, scholars, and observers follow Morgenthau's seminal work, each offering important insights on Morgenthau's concepts and ideas as they relate to current crises and global challenges."--BOOK JACKET |
