Gives a general overview to understand the conflicts between nations. Basically it is an academic book, hence a bit exhaustive. Honestly did not read the entire book (maybe 2/3rds) but was quite informative for a novice like myself.
Sebuah buku pengantar yang bahasanya jernih. Kupasannya untuk sebuah pengantar sangat baik dari seorang akademisi yang pernah menjadi penasihat Presiden AS. Namun untuk topik international conflicts sebaiknya jangan puas hanya dengan buku ini.
Menurut Nye sendiri, buku ini merupakan bagian dari upayanya menjawab polemik seputar dokumen yang dibuatnya ketika menjabat sebagai staff penasihat Presiden Bill Clinton. Saya menemukan sejumput informasi di "The ‘Nye Report’: Six Years Later”, (Internatio...more

Great introduction to the basic theories of international relations. Clearly worded, well organized, and very readable.
Also a book I had to read for a class - but so glad that I did. An extremely thorough yet easy to understand account of the history and future of international politics. It never read like a text book. I know I will refer to this book often!
Well structured, but covers too much info in such a compact book.
Excellent book! Highly readable.
This is [still:] one of the best introduction to the study International Relation. It discusses many wars of the world from Peloponessian era up to Bush's War of Iraq. By learning these stuff, definitely one will acquire horizon of ideas and grasp the complexity of international politics. It will launch you to study more about IR. Readble & Indispensable.
This book is a must for students of International Relations! It is well written. It combines history and theory all at once. Professor Nye successfully prove that he is the best in his field.
This is an interesting book which deals with very important events that shaped the 20 century.

It's a good book, but I think it's no the best work of Nye. I'd rather read "Power and interdependence".
buku dari masa kuliah yang paling sering dibaca karena sering dipakai untuk bikin paper he..he...he...
nice book to have a general understanding of internatinal relations from a liberalist view
Satu-satunya buku dari masa kuliah yang masih saya simpan dan dibaca lagi dan lagi... :)
Surprisingly readable. There's a whole chapter on WWI (my favorite!)
Easy read, great explanations. Did not feel like a textbook.
