Fifty essential thinkers in international relations, by: Marine Griffith

This book provides an accurate reading of the intellectual foundations of international relations, through presenting the opinions of the most prominent thinkers, whether in their research and in-depth studies, or in the positions of responsibility they held as leaders, or foreign ministers, or other decision-making positions. The author of the book classified these fifty thinkers into nine groups: realists, liberals, radicals, the international community group, the international organization, post-modernism, the historical sociology group, humanity and international relations, and theories on the nation. Those who left a clear mark on international politics through their distinctive intellectual capabilities and practical skills: Vladimir Lenin, Henry Kissinger. Such a book opens our eyes to how political ideas first emerge in the minds of thinkers, then transform into reality through economic, political, and military power. Number of pages: 591
