Analysis of International Relations
Deutsch, Karl A.
Analysis of International Relations - 2nd ed. - Englewood Cliffs Prentice-Hall 1978 - 312 p.
This book explains the many factors that contribute to a nation's continuing attempt to "adjust the world while adjusting to it." It focuses particularly on the momentous adjustments the nations of the world have had to make in the last three decades-to nuclear power, finite resources, and the worldwide awakening of previously submerged peoples and races to new capabilities, needs, and demands. Tracing the change from the old international balance of power to the new politics of international pluralism, the author shows how elements from psychology, sociology, and anthropology have been combined with older concepts from science, history, and economics.
One-by-one, the book takes up the specific concerns international relations-power within the state, the power of the state, foreign policy formation, causes of war, and ways to prevent war. It offers a very clear explanation of what can be a very confusing area of human affairs, especially in today's world.
