Waltz Kenneth.Structural Realism after cold war

Cambridge University Press, 2010 Realism and constructivism, two key contemporary theoretical approaches to the study of international relations, are commonly taught as mutually exclusive ways of understanding the subject. Realist Constructivism explores the common ground between the two, and demonstrates that, rather than being in simple opposition, they have areas of both tension and overlap. There is indeed space to engage in a realist constr...

Routledge, 2000. 202 p. The essential contestability of the theories of International Relations has remained a constant aspect of its study.

State University of New York Press, 2000. 242 p. The historian Charles Tilly once famously observed that war made the state. But as war becomes increasingly unthinkable in the post-Cold War age, what will become of the state?
