Author: Amos A. Jordan, William J. Taylor Jr., Michael J. Mazarr

This is not to deny that various trends and forces are increasingly pressing states toward more cooperative, less confrontational behavior; rather it is to focus on the fact that on important issues many states -- including all the great powers -- apply a power calculus in dealing with other international actors." -- from the fifth edition of American National SecurityPraise for previous editions:"A classic text, widely used in universities...
