A decade after the cold war ended, policy makers and academics foresaw a new era of peace and prosperity, an era in which dem ocracy and open trade would herald the "end of history." The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, sadly shattered these idyllic illusions, and John Mearsheimer's masterful new book explains why these harmonious visions remain utopian. To Mearsheimer, great power politics are tragic because the anarchy of the international system requires states to seek dominance at one another's expense, dooming even peaceful nations to a relentless power struggle. Mearsheimer illuminates his theory of offensive realism through a sweeping survey of modern great power struggles and reflects on the bleak prospects for peace in Europe and northeast Asia, arguing that the United States's security competition with a rising China will intensify regardless of "engagement" policies.

算是非常好读的政治读物了,国家间的关系遵从的“攻势现实主义”,颇有丛林法则的味道,几个主要的论证逻辑严谨,对海陆空三军的重要性也做了阐述,最后对中国崛起和中美之间是否一战做了预言。

算是第一本基本通读过的国际关系理论的书。考完GRE大半年都没看东西了。这么简单直白的英文都看的很慢。。。说实在的,国际关系三大理论这种宏大的covering law只能算作视角,谈不上真正的理论,虽然它用看似理性选择的理论伪装,和历史实证,装做自己是理论。感觉我欣赏的理论还是有理性选择内核的精巧中层理论。(原谅我,毕竟在商学院呆了5年,遗毒未除)而且在理论之外,更重要的是历史,个人能动性-结构限制... 算是第一本基本通读过的国际关系理论的书。考完GRE大半年都没看东西了。这么简单直白的英文都看的很慢。。。说实在的,国际关系三大理论这种宏大的covering law只能算作视角,谈不上真正的理论,虽然它用看似理性选择的理论伪装,和历史实证,装做自己是理论。感觉我欣赏的理论还是有理性选择内核的精巧中层理论。(原谅我,毕竟在商学院呆了5年,遗毒未除)而且在理论之外,更重要的是历史,个人能动性-结构限制,和对现实具体问题的把握。然而,瑕不掩瑜,这本书读来还是有意思的。 (展开)

看了头和尾,south海部分的预测真让人忧虑,米氏最后一句话说的是:我宁可历史证明我错。国关现实主义是真的坦诚,但同时也是真的悲观。

One of the foremost masterpiece on realism
