      abstract = {This book examines how IR's European realist tradition  evolved in Europe and, due to emigration, in the United  States in the 20th century. It includes an introduction and  eight chapters, focusing on historical classical and  contemporary structural branches of realist IR theorizing  in historical and political contexts in which realist  thinking did develop. It reminds us of realist key figures,  such as Edward H. Carr, John H. Herz or Hans J. Morgenthau,  but also of almost forgotten realists such as Raymond Aron,  Stanley Hoffmann or Nicholas J. Spykman. Given IR  mainstream textbooks introducing realism as a conservative  American Cold War theory, this selection aims to  reintroduce realism as a primarily and distinctively  European, liberal, normative and critical tradition. A  tradition that is almost always misunderstood as a guide  for practitioners how to maximize or at least preserve  power in the name of the national interest no matter the  cost, but that is in fact an argument against reckless and  crude power politics, ideology and totalitarianism. This  book is an invaluable resource for scholars, practitioners  and students interested in the realist tradition in IR.  Alexander Reichwein is Lecturer in International Relations  at the Department of Political Science at the  Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, Germany.
