A History of International Relations Theory
A History of International Relations Theory
Torbjorn L. Knutsen introduces ideas on international relations expressed by thinkers from the High Middle Ages to the present day, and traces the developments of four consistent themes: war, wealth, peace, and power. The book counters the assumption that international relations has no theoretical tradition and shows that scholars, soldiers, and statesmen have been speculating about the subject for the last 700 years. Beginning with the roots of the state and the concept of sovereignty in the Middle Ages, the author draws upon the insights and theories of outstanding political thinkers such as Aquinas, Machiavelli, Hegel, Rousseau, Bentham, Marx and Lenin. The text is fully revised and updated to include the state of international relations after the Cold War and new ways of thinking developed by information technology. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
