This book examines how IR's European realist tradition evolved in
Europe and, due to emigration, in the United States in the 20th
century. It includes an introduction and eight chapters, focusing
on historical classical and contemporary structural branches of
realist IR theorizing in historical and political contexts in which
realist thinking did develop. It reminds us of realist key figures,
such as Edward H. Carr, John H. Herz or Hans J. Morgenthau, but
also of almost forgotten realists such as Raymond Aron, Stanley
Hoffmann or Nicholas J. Spykman. Given IR mainstream textbooks
introducing realism as a conservative American Cold War theory,
this selection aims to reintroduce realism as a primarily and
distinctively European, liberal, normative and critical tradition.
A tradition that is almost always misunderstood as a guide for
practitioners how to maximize or at least preserve power in the
name of the national interest no matter the cost, but that is in
fact an argument against reckless and crude power politics,
ideology and totalitarianism. This book is an invaluable resource
for scholars, practitioners and students interested in the realist
tradition in IR.
This is the first Anglophone volume on emigre scholars' influence
on International Relations, uniquely exploring the intellectual
development of IR as a discipline and providing a re-reading of
some of its almost forgotten founding thinkers.
This book provides a comprehensive investigation into Hans
Morgenthau's life and work. Identifying power, knowledge, and
dissent as the fundamental principles that have informed his
worldview, this book argues that Morgenthau's lasting contribution
to the discipline of International Relations is the human condition
of politics.
A growing interest in the oeuvre of Hans J. Morgenthau and in
re-readings of 'classical realism' increases the significance of
his European, pre-emigration writings in order to understand the
work of one of the founding figures of IR. This book is the first
English translation of Morgenthau's French monograph La notion du
politique from 1933 (translated by Maeva Vidal).
In an ever more globalized world, sustainable global development
requires effective intercultural co-operations. This dialogue
between non-western and western cultures is essential to
identifying global solutions for global socio-political challenges.
Modern Japanese Political Thought and International Relations
critiques the formation of non-western International Relations by
assessing Japanese political concepts to contemporary IR discourses
since the Meji Restoration, to better understand knowledge
exchanges in intercultural contexts. Each chapter focuses on a
particular aspect of this dialogue, from international law and
nationalism to concepts of peace and Daoism, this collection
grapples with postcolonial questions of Japan's indigenous IR
theory.

This book is about European IR theoretical traditions, their
origins, and key figures. Theorizing is among the most important
activities that take place within scientific disciplines. Scholars
therefore routinely talk/debate about the discipline of IR and its
theories, theories are often used to form the pedagogical backbone
of IR and theories are also a key part of scholarly identities.
Over time, theories crystalize in to schools of thought, strands of
theorizing and theoretical traditions. This book and the volumes
that will follow focus on the origins and trajectories of
theoretical traditions, and key figures of IR thought in Europe in
the 20th Century. The authors are situated in Europe, and it is
thus the origins and trajectories of European theoretical
traditions, its intellectual history and contemporary forms of
theoretical knowledge today, that are on the agenda. In order to
achieve this ambitious aim, we opt for a transnational sociological
history approach, thus going beyond the national lens through which
IR has been predominantly studied. The series will have an
integrative function and contribute to a globalized discourse on IR
as a discipline. The key benefits of this first volume is that it
outlines IR theoretical traditions for the first time ever,
provides a novel framework for exploring IR's theories, and
contributes to define and strengthen the European identity of IR.
This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of IR.
