New Theories entirely have come into being.
This.New Theories entirely have come into being.
Exactly. Take that, Liberalist scum!The Globalization of World Politics and Theories of International Relations which were suggested are both the sorts of book which would give you a balanced overview of the various positions. That both me and Lord Baal are neo-realists who'd suggest the same book is nothing more than coincidence (or perhaps nothing more than neo-realism being correct )
You know if you're looking for some overview and background, you'd be better off reading a range of articles that picking one book (unless it's a good overview book). There's no real point in trying a whole book by Wendt or Waltz, because you'd need to complement it with stuff from the other side of the fence, maybe some Keohane or Moravcsik or Doyle. They all have nice articles that you can peruse to get a good idea. And it depends what part of IR you're interested in, because in a way (but not quite) it's like asking what to read if you're interested in an introduction to history.
The Globalization of World Politics is marketed as a primer for uni students. It's perfect for what you need.Articles? Do you mean like specialists magazines and editorials?
I checked out the names you published and found some aforementioned articles. How does one keep himself updated?
As for IR parts, well, for now I just want a Beginner's 101 to IR reading, ya know, development of IR theories and ideas and since most of today's diplomacy derives from European thinkers and diplomatic standards adopted from 1648, 1815 etc, a good look at Europe would be nice.
It's designed for introductory uni courses. Most people are expected to not know jack when they start reading it.ehhhh reading specialist literature without a grounding is usually a Bad Idea.
Exactly. Say what you will about Bull's or Waltz's theories, they're highly-respected and still used to this day. And I did give a few non-Realist authors who'd be worth looking.ehhhh selection then becomes the problem.

No, it's not illegal anywhere in the world, to my knowledge. Not even Korea and China.Is it illegal to possess Imperial Japan items? I know Nazi memorabilia is illegal. My family has some stuff from back then when my great-grandfather was conscripted. Will it get flagged at customs? I'm gonna bring it over from Japan to the US. Thanks.
