All chapters of the book are animated by a theoretical effort to define the conceptual aspects of realism and attempt to establish whether the tradition still provides the necessary conceptual tools to scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters address important issues in contemporary world politics through the lens of realist theory such as the refugee crisis in Europe and the Middle East; the war against ISIS; the appearance of non-state actors and outlaw agents; the rise of China; cyberwarfare; human rights and humanitarian law. The collection also provides insights on some of the theoretical tenets of classical and structural realism. Overall, the collection shows that, in spite of its many shortcomings, realism still offers a multifaceted understanding of world politics and enlightens the increasing challenges of world politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Davide Orsi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910814377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910814376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e E-International Relations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Davide Orsi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125545660671,"sku":"9781910814376","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd2d616b-8ca4-420b-be20-2ff4ea39bdd2.jpg?v=1687443233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/realism-in-practice-davide-orsi-9781910814376","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
