3.0 out of 5 stars where classics meet the modern, November 24, 2008
A very useful book but readers might feel bored because of its volume and this being too scholarly a collection of dry essays. The title and the subject matter is well selected but it ought to have been short. The relevance of classical theories have already been questioned by some experts when they thought that America might not need a foreign policy. If the terms in international relations are dictatted solely by a super power then the relevance of enduring concepts definitely stands challenged.

1.0 out of 5 stars Philosophy in disguise, April 3, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
To say that this book is somewhat impenetrable is a bit like saying space is slightly chilly. There certainly are foundational theories that need to be explored in IR, but this book approaches it in the most condescending and repellent way possible. If you enjoy overly-complex, and self-aggrandizing prose, definitely pick one up. If not, there are likely better sources for this material.
