This book examines how IR's European realist tradition evolved in
Europe and, due to emigration, in the United States in the 20th
century. It includes an introduction and eight chapters, focusing
on historical classical and contemporary structural branches of
realist IR theorizing in historical and political contexts in which
realist thinking did develop. It reminds us of realist key figures,
such as Edward H. Carr, John H. Herz or Hans J. Morgenthau, but
also of almost forgotten realists such as Raymond Aron, Stanley
Hoffmann or Nicholas J. Spykman. Given IR mainstream textbooks
introducing realism as a conservative American Cold War theory,
this selection aims to reintroduce realism as a primarily and
distinctively European, liberal, normative and critical tradition.
A tradition that is almost always misunderstood as a guide for
practitioners how to maximize or at least preserve power in the
name of the national interest no matter the cost, but that is in
fact an argument against reckless and crude power politics,
ideology and totalitarianism. This book is an invaluable resource
for scholars, practitioners and students interested in the realist
tradition in IR.
