N1 - 2 copies available on shelf no. 1 N2 - The Perils of Anarchy - Contemporary Realism and International Security. The first section of this book explores how realist theories can shed light on changing international orders of the past, present and future. Realism suggests that changes in the distribution of power in an international system have important implications for levels of conlict, war, and peace, and for the foreign policies of individual states. The four essays here use the insights of realist theories to explain why the Cold War ended, and to predict how the international system will be changed by the end of hostility between superpowers.
