The Tragedy of Great Power Politics

Politics by जॉन मर्शीमर

Blurb

The Tragedy of Great Power Politics is a book by the American scholar John Mearsheimer on the subject of international relations theory published by W.W. Norton & Company in 2001. Mearsheimer explains and argues for his theory of "offensive realism" by stating its key assumptions, evolution from early realist theory, and its predictive capability. He readily acknowledges the inherent pessimism of offensive realism and its predictions, because Mearsheimer's world is one in which conflict between great powers will never see an end.
