Contending Theories of International Relations: A Comprehensive Survey

The book offers excellent frameworks and sets of theories to explain issues in the field of International Relations. Sometimes the chapters are a bit long and repeating itself but that could help some students to better comprehend complex theories and philosophical viewpoints.

"Contending Theories of International Relations" is an excellent book. It reads more like an anthology than a textbook, but that can be viewed as one of the nice things about it. I very much like the organization of this book. I used it in my international relations courses. This is a wonderful summary of theoretical thought about international politics

I read this book 10 years ago while studying my Masters deggree in The Netherlands. I found it very interesting and really supportive for my thesis. all sudents of IR should have it. Unfortunatelly, I did not not buy it at that time. Currently I work in the Chile s Agency of International Cooperation and I am a lecturer of Intenational Relations in various Universities. I would like to make contacts with those people interested in development aid. My name is Rafael Sabat.
