Proponents of neoclassical realism claim that it is the logical extension of the Kenneth Waltz's structural realism into the realm of foreign policy. In Neoclassical Realist Theory of International Relations, Norrin M. Ripsman, Jeffrey W. Taliaferro, and Steven E. Lobell argue that neoclassical realism is far more than an extension of Waltz's structural realism or an effort to update the classical realism of Hans Morgenthau, E.H. Carr, and Henry Kissinger with the language of modern social science. Rejecting the artificial distinction that Waltz draws between theories of international politics and theories of foreign policy, the authors contend neoclassical realism can explain and predict phenomena ranging from short-term crisis-behavior, to foreign policy, to patterns of grand strategic adjustment by individual states up to long-term patterns of international outcomes. It is, therefore, a more powerful theory of international politics than structural realism. Yet it is also a more intuitively satisfying approach than liberal Innenpolitik theories or constructivism. The authors detail the variables and assumptions of neoclassical realist theory, address various aspects of theory construction and methodology, lay out the areas of convergence and sharp disagreement with other leading theoretical approaches -- liberalism, constructivism, analytic eclecticism, and foreign policy analysis (FPA) --- and demonstrate how neoclassical realist theory can be used to resolve longstanding puzzles and debates in international relations theory.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52688020635921,"sku":"NLS9780199899234","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199899234.jpg?v=1762331920"},{"product_id":"oracle-of-spring-garden-road-book-norrin-m-ripsman-9780960124527","title":"The Oracle of Spring Garden Road","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740562911505,"sku":"NIN9780960124527","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780960124527.jpg?v=1763484001"},{"product_id":"song-book-book-norrin-m-ripsman-9780960124534","title":"Song Book","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740563108113,"sku":"NIN9780960124534","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"the-oracle-of-spring-garden-road-book-norrin-m-ripsman-9780960124503","title":"The Oracle of Spring Garden Road","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52785546035473,"sku":"CIN0960124500VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53480026407185,"sku":"GOR014941061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780960124503.jpg?v=1764073815"},{"product_id":"peacemaking-by-democracies-book-norrin-m-ripsman-9780271023984","title":"Peacemaking by Democracies","description":"When theorists explain how democracies conduct foreign policy, they tend to ignore or downplay differences and assume that all behave similarly.

But today, the language of freedom has been co-opted and used to justify exploitation. Pharmaceutical companies are free to overcharge for medication, big tech is free from oversight, politicians are free to incite rebellion, corporations are free to pollute, and more. How did we get here? Whose freedom are we--should we--be thinking about?' \u003cp\u003eIn\u0026gt;\u003cem\u003eThe Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society\u003c\/em\u003e, Joseph E. Stiglitz reveals why America's core political and economic systems don't offer true freedom. Taking on giants of neoliberalism and free market capitalism, such as Hayek and Friedman, Stiglitz turns these accepted ideas about our systems on their head. \u003cem\u003eThe Road to Freedom\u003c\/em\u003e offers a fundamental reevaluation of democracy, economics, and what constitutes a good society, showing what kind of economic and political system is most likely to deliver a good society, including one that enhances meaningful freedoms for most individuals. Stiglitz's latest is vital reading for anyone envisioning a future led by tolerance, education, and, above all, freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521464426769,"sku":"NLS9784824136510","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53565444260113,"sku":"NIN9784824136510","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9784824136510.jpg?v=1778453206"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-norrin-m-ripsman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
