Kautilya's treatise \u003ci\u003eArthashastra\u003c\/i\u003e stands as one of the great political books of the ancient world, its ideas on the science of politics strikingly similar to those of Thucydides, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Clausewitz, and even Sun Tsu. Roger Boesche's excellent commentary on Kautilya's voluminous text draws out the essential realist arguments for modern political analysis and demonstrates the continued relevance of Kautilya's work to modern Indian strategic thinking and our understanding of the relationship between politics and economics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Boesche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0739106074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780739106075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.12w x 0.42d","brand":"Roger Boesche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120125178111,"sku":"9780739106075","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5be8f8db-933a-4c7e-9643-38a223390973.jpg?v=1687412675","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-first-great-political-realist-roger-boesche-9780739106075","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
