Power Politics

By Martin Wight, edited by Hedley Bull and Carsten Holbraad

Holmes & Meier, 1978, 317 pp.

This "introduction to the study of international relations and postwar planning" is a work of wide scope and deep learning. The author has digested a vast amount of literature and has sought to give his sociological analysis of the fundamental forces in international politics a somewhat metaphysical basis.
