Description for On World Politics
Paperback. Num Pages: 184 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPS; JPA; JPS; JPSD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .

Within contemporary International Relations it entails a theoretical position, neotraditionalism, as a reformulation of the initial 'traditionalist' approach in the wake of rationalism and subsequent reflectivist critique.
