Customer Reviews

Clear, concise, and of abiding educational value - By: , 26 Nov 2000
This book stands as a masterpiece of analytical thought - as such, it is no surprise that it is a required text for International Relations courses in many of the top universities around the world.

Joseph Nye discusses the evolution of international conflicts from past to present, drawing lessons from history & thereby teaching the reader how to analyticallly & criticallly evaluate the challlenges & conflicts of tomorrow.

This book wisely chooses not to discuss specific conflicts in great depth, leaving the details to more specialised texts. Nye has instead chosen to focus on concepts & principles, which ultimately are the key to achieving the stated aim of the book -- understanding international conflicts.

This book should be read by anybody with an interest in international relations, from the amateur armchair general to the professional student of world affairs.
