A proposed multi-disciplinary synthesis solution to IR

A proposed multi-disciplinary syntesis solution to IR theory of large scale historical change and development, incorporating the hegemonic and the Long Wave theories. Well researched and written on the whole, providing a Macrodynamic structural model consistent with Synthesis Theories of Structural Analysis (STSA). For the price should be in two larger volumes. Essentially prohibitive to students in price, because a course can not be built around it, but will still become a standard reference text for IR.
