Building on ideas developed in his earlier works, particularly the legacy of the Cold War, Liska expands his ''geopolitical'' approach into a ''geohistorical'' one. Rejecting the idea that periods and events should be viewed as static, fixed structures, Liska''s analysis reveals the cyclical nature of world history and develops a new kind of realism that encompasses the problems of expansion and evolution. This innovative book by a world renowned political thinker has far reaching implications that will be valuable to all students and scholars of international relations, world history, and the philosophy of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are too many thought-provoking ideas in this book to cover comprehensively in a short review... fascinating... powerful... -- Dale Copeland, University of Virginia * American Political Science Review *\u003cbr\u003eA welcome addition to the international relations literature . . . an insightful commentary on international history and theory. -- Miriam Fendius Elman, Arizona State University and Harvard University * The Journal of Politics *\u003cbr\u003eAn extremely worthwhile book. -- Fen Osler Hampson, Carleton University * International Journal *\u003cbr\u003eLiska's importance to the articulation of political realism is frequently underestimated and deserves much greater attention in the literature. -- Alastair Murray, University of Wales, Swansea * International Affairs *","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038811128151,"sku":"9780847686803","price":37.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780847686803.jpg?v=1750941526","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/expanding-realism-9780847686803","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
