The major theories scholars use to explain the dynamics underlying international relations - realism, liberalism and their variants - frame the text, at the same time incorporating the reconstructed theories newly advance to interpret contemporary developments and resists the temptation to oversimplify world politics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best used deal I could find
Reviewed in the United States on 12 February 2010

The price was better than if I had tried to purchase this book new or used in a bookstore or another site. The book came in great condition, with very few signs of use and only some highlighting, underlining, and markings. As far as the book itself, it's in depth and interesting, but I can honestly say that I wouldn't be reading if it wasn't a textbook requirement. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Memorable Textbook
Reviewed in the United States on 25 January 2005

I read an earlier paperback edition of this textbook for my class in Intl. Relations at Northwestern University in 1987. Somehow it was misplaced since then, but I never forgot it. My 15 year old son has expressed an interest in learning more about the world than what he is fed in school, so I ordered a new copy, and now he's reading it. The book covers all aspects of the post WWII world order, which still governs most of what takes place today.

My only complaint about this text, and why I did not give it five stars, is that it seems to be a bit idealistic about what can be done to solve the world's problems. As a student, I actually believed that diplomacy, the UN, other NGO's etc. could substantially change the tendency toward using violence to solve disputes. And that reducing north-south inequality was an important key to this. East-west tensions were supposed to be reduced by negotiation. While that has been true to a small degree, the past 20 years have been shaped by nations acting in their own economic and military self-interest and a sharp rise in sectarian violence. And the cold war was won by the West economically, not by some negotiated settlement with communism. The end of the cold war also unleashed dozens of formerly quiescent nationalist movements.

I don't think Kegley and Wittkopf address these issues adequately. They don't take into account basic human nature and historic inevitability of conflict. Also, the push for impossible north-south equality and first world guilt is annoying. Trade is far better than aid. Many many more countries in the south are moving from dependency to industrialization, reducing the legacy of colonialism, and hence the importance of north-south wealth transfers.

Still, the ideals behind attempts to move toward a more benevolent world order are worth pursuing, and this book is an excellent introduction of those concepts. It's important to keep the authors' bias in mind, however, because history has not been kind to idealists. (Even in the fictional 24th century "United Federation of Planets," there are still wars to be fought.)

Regardless of these shortcomings, this book was a vital part of my education. Highly recommended.
