Caracteristici
- transcends national, cultural, ideological, political, ethnic, and other biases.
- juxtaposes and, where possible, synthesizes the behavioralist (scientific) and the traditionalist orientations to international relations—presenting an eclectic approach to the traditional-versus-scientific debate.
- recreates and presents in simple language the timeless debate between the advocates of realism (who emphasize power and survival) and the advocates of idealism (who emphasize moral principles and justice), and synthesizes both positions by arguing for an outlook of “prudent idealism”—wherein “justice of power” can be gradually replaced by the “power of justice.”
Descriere
A concept-oriented — as opposed to policy-oriented —approach to international relations — written from the point of view of plain citizens.
