Description

In "Schools of Thought in International Relations", renowned foreign-affairs scholar Kenneth W. Thompson brings clarification to the study of international relations theory by succinctly addressing salient issues in its intellectual history. He examines some of the questions it has addressed through the years while delineating its fundamental concerns and offering his perspective on its current status. Thompson provides straightforward accessible discussions of the three earliest schools of thought - the Chicago school, the Yale/Princeton school and the Harvard school. He details the approach and informing theory that each bequeathed to the field of international studies and examines the contributions of the foremost representatives of each school. He also gives attention to questions of attitude and philosophy, domestic and international politics, and issues of international morality. Based on Thompson's nearly half century of teaching and writing and, perhaps most important, his personal association with many of the individuals who represent the current theoretical approaches in international relations, this book constitutes a rich and unique presentation of both historical and contemporary analysis.
