History and theory are all too often treated as separate approaches
to international relations. This book offers an accessible
synthesis of sophisticated theory and in-depth history.
The uses of theory are examined in the opening section which
includes a defence of the historical method by John Lewis Gaddis
and the arguments for a more scientific method by Bruce Bueno de
Mesquita. The subsequent chapters of the book take major issues and
episodes in international relations since 1945 (such as the rise of
Japan, change in Latin America, wars in the Middle East, and
decolonization) and demonstrate how it is that particular theories
assist in explaining them. These include theories of power,
cooperation, alliances, empire, integration, and arms control.
The student is left with a nuanced view of history and a critical
but constructive approach to theories of international relations.
The book challenges both students and academics to think afresh
about the ways they analyze international relations.
