With Theory of International Politics Kenneth Waltz established
Neo-realism as a major school of thought in IR, which still remains
a dominant approach within the discipline in the Anglo-American
world and beyond. Man, the State and War - his first contribution
to the debate in IR and the predecessor to Theory of International
Politics - received praise for its presentation of a discussion on
the causes of international warfare as well as the possibilities of
its prevention on three different levels of analysis: the
individual, the state and the international system. This book
reflects on the arguments presented in Man, the State and War from
a contemporary perspective. Do Waltz's ideas still hold firm ground
in the discipline? The book alerts to the perceived necessity of
combining conceptions of governance and authority with
considerations on the reduction of inequality at the individual,
state and international level. Inequality in particular has
received increased attention as a cause for violence at all three
levels since Waltz published Man, the State and War. The book also
addresses Waltz's rejection of supranationalism as the remedy for
war - a view that has been challenged since he wrote the book. One
theme stands out: from today's perspective, the establishment and
maintenance of 'good global governance' can be considered the most
important aspect for the prevention of war.
