Review: A perfect guide to Offensive Realism in IR - "International Politics is a dangerous business and no amount of goodwill can ameliorate the intense security competition and the quest for hegemony." Being realist sucks! But in the end, no matter how much people resist it, realism prevails. The book provides the perfect guide to Offensive Realism in International Relations. Mr Mearsheimer had predicted the rise of china a long time ago and most of his predictions are proving themselves to be true. The study and literature reading the author have done are quite commendable. A must-read for all the students of International Politics and Global Diplomacy. Although the perspective has western, especially eurocentric biases, it is very easy to draw the corollary. The Book analyses how Balance of Power considerations and States' drive for hegemony shape the international order, and eventually that international order provokes states to gain as much relative power as they can compare to their adversary. It also highlights the importance of Geography in International Relations. A comprehensive analysis and an exciting read.
