Reviews

This is a book that takes seriously the idea that anarchy and hierarchy coexist in world politics. It offers both theory and case material to help readers comprehend the balance between the two main concepts as played out in world politics.--Patrick James, University of Southern California Rhamey and Kugler apply a unifying theoretical lens (about hierarchy in world politics) to motivate discussions of international conflict, international cooperation, and future challenges and past lessons. They knit together what we know about the structure of the international system and the sources of power within states to present arguments about a wide range of IR activity. An excellent book for an upper-level IR theory course.--Douglas Lemke, Pennsylvania State University
