Peace and War : A Theory of International Relations

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the complexities of international relations, the book explores the inherent differences between state behavior and civil society. Aron presents a nuanced framework that combines theory, sociology, history, and practical application, arguing against the existence of a definitive science of international relations. He examines the influence of subpolitical forces, key twentieth-century events, and proposes a balanced approach to foreign policy that transcends both cynical and overly idealistic views. The new edition features an insightful introduction contextualizing Aron's work in a post-Cold War world.
