Knutsen introduces ideas on international relations expressed by thinkers from the High Middle Ages to the present day and traces the development of four ever-present themes: war, peace, wealth and power. The book counters the view that international relations has no theoretical tradition and shows that scholars, soldiers and statesmen have been speculating about the subject for the last 700 years. Beginning with the roots of the state and the concept of sovereignty in the Middle Ages, the author draws upon the insights of outstanding political thinkers - from Machiavelli and Hobbes to Hegel, Rousseau, and Marx and contemporary thinkers such as Woodrow Wilson, Lenin, Morgenthau and Walt - who profoundly influenced the emergence of a discrete discipline of International Relations in the twentieth century. Fully revised and updated, the final section embraces more recent approaches to the study of international relations, most notably postmodernism and ecologism.<br></div> 160885 15 6 1997 History of International Relations Theory total:1|4:1| 1 4 2 1 166605 071904930X 9780719049309 1 1 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172348580m/166605.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/166605.History_of_International_Relations_Theory 0 0 false Sat Oct 17 12:32:20 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 12:33:29 -0700 2009 166605 071904930X 9780719049309 1 1 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172348580m/166605.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/166605.History_of_International_Relations_Theory 4 0 false Tue Feb 26 09:44:20 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 09:44:23 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=166605
