REALISM AND FEAR IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS - A...

This book examines the fascinating story of how the chief architects of realism (Hans
Morgenthau  Kenneth Waltz and John Mearsheimer) dealt with some of the most pressing political
issues of our time through the lenses of fear. Pashakhanlou conducts the most comprehensive
evaluation of their works to date  compromising of a meticulous analysis of 400 of their
publications. As such  this book is an invaluable resource for practitioners  students and
concerned citizens that seek to understand how three of the most influential International
Relations scholars thought about the implications of fear at the global level. ¿In this
important book  the author gets to the heart of the underlying emotional condition on which so
much rational political thought in International Relations is built. By uncovering the role of
fear within the modern classics of realism  the book sheds light on the role that fear plays in
producing otherwise rational decision-making.¿ David Galbreath  Professor of International
Security  University of Bath  UK ¿The role played by fear in Realist international theory is
under-explored and poorly theorised. This book addresses this lacuna and provides a thorough
and systematic analysis of the significance of fear in Realism. In doing so  Arash Heydarian
Pashakhanlou makes a major contribution to International Relations theory  and the ¿emotional
turn¿ in the study of contemporary international politics¿. Adrian Hyde-Price  Professor of
International Politics  Gothenburg University  Sweden
