The wisdom of history's great political minds can still guide us through the confusing thickets of our post-cold war world. As the international community struggles to make sense of the post-cold war world, Professor Michael Doyle urges us to look again at the classic theorists. Ways of War and Peace lays out the three primary schools of thoughtrealism, liberalism, and socialismand reintroduces the reader to Thucydides, Rousseau, Locke, and others. The enduring theories are explained and explored and then applied with marvelous insight to today's fundamental international dilemmas. Although no one school has all the answers, this brilliant analysis maintains that we do have the theoretical tools to meet today's challenges.
