Explaining and understanding international relations / Martin Hollis and Steve Smith. - Reprinted edition. - vi, 226 pages ; 22 cm
Reprinted for 1990 edition.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
A collaboration between a philosopher and an international relations scholar, this work examines the philosophical issues that underlie the theory of international relations. Part I focuses on the dominant theories of Idealism, Realism, and behavioralism, and Part II examines the international system, the state, bureaucracies, and the individual--four factors commonly assumed to account for international behavior. The authors conclude with a summary of the links between the two forms of analysis and an open-ended assessment of their relative merits which will stimulate further discussion.--Publisher description.
