Research in International Relations by Trygve Mathisen

Originally published in 1965, the author makes a strong case for the study of international relations, arguing that given the rational approach he advocates, it is possible to avoid a major war since no government wants one. His theories reach some controversial conclusions. Throughout the book the author illustrates his arguments with examples taken from the last 100 years of European history. Material for more detailed study of these examples is included in the statistics and maps in the appendices.

Original Review of British Foreign Policy:

‘…should be useful to American as well as British students…well informed [and] clear…’ Leon DEpstein, American Political Science Review, 57 (3), 1963.

Trygve Mathisen (1913–1987) was a Norwegian historian and political scientist.
