Winner of the 2014 International Studies Association Theory Section Book Award

Framed by a new and substantial introductory chapter, the book collects Stefano Guzzini's research on power, realism and constructivism. It explores the diversity of different schools and their intrinsic tensions and fallacies by analysing both theories and their assumptions, and theorists following their intellectual paths. Guzzini's approach to the analysis of power - within and outside International Relations - provides the common theme of the book through which the theoretical state of the art in International Relations is re-assessed.

This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, international politics, international relations theory and constructivism.

Reviews

"Stefano Guzzini's range, cogency and sympathetic relation to his interlocutors are in full display in this collection of his best work. Best is best. For my money, Guzzini is the best straight-on IR theorist of his generation." - Nicholas Onuf, Professor Emeritus of Florida International University in Miami, USA.

'The volume is a great overview of [Guzzini's] thinking, and necessary reading for anyone interested in any of the three themes, let alone their intersection.' - Samual Barkins, University of Massachusetts, USA
