Framed by a new and substantial introductory chapter, this book collects Stefano Guzzini’s reference articles and some less well-known publications on power, realism and constructivism. By analysing theories and their assumptions, but also theorists following their intellectual paths, his analysis explores the diversity of different schools, and moves beyond simple definitions to explore their intrinsic tensions and fallacies. Guzzini’s approach to the analysis of power – within and outside International Relations – provides the common theme of the book through which the theoretical state of the art in IR is reassessed.
A novel analysis of power and the potential limits of realism and constructivism in International Relations, Power, Realism and Constructivism will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, international political economy, social and political theory, and the study of power.
"Stefano Guzzini's range, cogency and sympathetic relation to his interlocutors are in full display in this collection of his best work. Best is best. For my money, Guzzini is the best straight-on IR theorist of his generation." - Nicholas Onuf, Professor Emeritus of Florida International University in Miami, USA.
'The volume is a great overview of [Guzzini's] thinking, and necessary reading for anyone interested in any of the three themes, let alone their intersection.' - Samual Barkins, University of Massachusetts, USA
