Realism is commonly portrayed as theory that reduces international
relations to pure power politics. Michael Williams provides an
important reexamination of the Realist tradition and its relevance
for contemporary international relations. Examining three thinkers
commonly invoked as Realism's foremost proponents - Hobbes,
Rousseau, and Morgenthau - the book shows that, far from advocating
a crude realpolitik, Realism's most famous classical proponents
actually stressed the need for a restrained exercise of power and a
politics with ethics at its core. These ideas are more relevant
than ever at a time when the nature of responsible responses to
international problems are at the centre of contemporary political
debate. This original interpretation of major thinkers will
interest scholars of international relations and the history of
ideas.
