Reviews
“Konstantinos Kostagiannis has made a valuable contribution to the burgeoning debate about realist international thought. Through subtle, historically-sensitive readings of some of the most prominent thinkers in the tradition – E. H. Carr, Hans Morgenthau, John Herz and John Mearsheimer – he demonstrates the conflicting ways in which realists have conceptualised power and the nation-state, and he makes a lucid case for the potential of Carr’s approach and the limitations of more recent realist visions. This book will be of interest to both historians of international thought and IR theorists.” (Duncan Bell, University of Cambridge)
