The balance of power has been a central concept in the theory and
practice of international relations for the past five hundred
years. It has also played a key role in some of the most important
attempts to develop a theory of international politics in the
contemporary study of international relations. In this 2007 book,
Richard Little establishes a framework that treats the balance of
power as a metaphor, a myth and a model. He then uses this
framework to reassess four major texts that use the balance of
power to promote a theoretical understanding of international
relations: Hans J. Morgenthau's Politics Among Nations (1948),
Hedley Bull's The Anarchical Society (1977), Kenneth N. Waltz's
Theory of International Politics (1979) and John J. Mearsheimer's
The Tragedy of Great Power Politics (2001). These reassessments
allow the author to develop a more comprehensive model of the
balance of power.
