This volume examines the explanatory nesting approach in the
analysis of international relations and its continuing relevance in
the 21st century. International relations theory urgently needs
strategies for coping with the growing complexity of the
international system following the collapse of the US-Soviet
bipolar stalemate, the multiple challenges to US unipolar hegemony,
and the rise of powerful non-Western actors. Over the course of
this book, leading scholars of international relations and
diplomatic history return to an approach to explanation pioneered
in the writings of the late Robert Jervis. The approach calls for
nesting multiple layers of explanation--systemic, strategic, and
perceptual--in an integrated causal account that is simultaneously
parsimonious and nuanced. Highlighting the logic of strategic
interactions under uncertainty, it also integrates the effects of
psychological biases and the unintended consequences of acting in
complex systems to provide explanations that are at once
theoretically rigorous and rich in empirical detail. Analyzing the
current state of Realist theory, signaling under conditions of
uncertainty and anarchy, the role of nuclear weapons in
international politics, the role of cognition and emotions in
economic and foreign policy decision making, and questions of
responsibility in international affairs, the authors provide a
compelling guide for the future of international relations theory.
This book will be of much interest to students of international
relations, foreign policy, and security studies.
