The contributors do not engage with Waltz's work as slavish disciples, but rather as positive critics, recognising its decisive significance in International Relations, while using the process of critical engagement to search for new or renewed understandings of unfolding global situations and new insights into long-standing problems of theory-building. 650 0 $a International relations. 650 0 $a Realism $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a World politics. 600 10 $a Waltz, Kenneth Neal, $d 1924- 700 1 $a Booth, Ken, $d 1943- 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825082304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C105ADC6A8C11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
