Political Realism And The Crisis Of World Politics: An American Approach To Foreign Policy

by Kenneth W. Thompson

Book Overview

""Political Realism and the Crisis of World Politics: An American Approach to Foreign Policy"" is a non-fiction book written by Kenneth W. Thompson. The book explores the concept of political realism, which is a school of thought that emphasizes the importance of power and national interest in international relations. Thompson argues that political realism is a necessary approach to foreign policy in a world that is increasingly unstable and unpredictable.The book begins by providing an overview of the history of political realism and its key principles. Thompson then examines the current state of world politics, including the rise of non-state actors, the decline of the nation-state, and the emergence of new global challenges such as climate change and terrorism.Thompson argues that in order to address these challenges, the United States must adopt a more pragmatic and realistic approach to foreign policy. He suggests that this approach should focus on protecting American interests, promoting stability and security, and building strong alliances with other nations.Throughout the book, Thompson provides numerous examples of how political realism has been applied in the past, including during the Cold War and in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. He also explores the potential benefits and drawbacks of this approach, and offers suggestions for how it can be implemented more effectively in the future.Overall, ""Political Realism and the Crisis of World Politics"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on American foreign policy. It is recommended for anyone interested in international relations, political science, or American politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
