Contents:

The territoriality of theory -- Individuals, agency, and ideas -- Real decisions and ideal models -- The nation-state : cause, curse, or cure? -- Systems : chaos and anarchy, or organized complexity? -- Realism's circuitous route : realpolitik to structures and back -- Integration, liberalisms, and balance : tales of two theories -- The invisible hand that wasn't -- Games, rules, and norms in international politics -- Anarchy or contention?

Summary: This book is a synthetic historiography of present-day international relations theory. It is a critical analysis of the continuing diversity and complexity of enduring themes through a sustained focus on the analysis of the empirical evidence accumulated by social scientists. Special attention is given to key historical changes in theoretical approaches over the past half-century with full recognition of the contestation over state-based theory, and the changing fortunes of contemporary approaches.
