Classics of International Relations introduces, contextualises and assesses 24 of the most important works on international relations of the last 100 years. Providing an indispensable guide for all students of IR theory, from advanced undergraduates to academic specialists, it asks why are these works considered classics? Is their status deserved? Will it endure? It takes as its starting point Norman Angell’s best-selling The Great Illusion (1909) and concludes with Daniel Deudney’s award winning Bounding Power (2006). The volume does not ignore established classics such as Morgenthau’s Politics Among Nations and Waltz’s Theory of International Politics, but seeks to expand the ‘IR canon’ beyond its core realist and liberal texts. It thus considers emerging classics such as Linklater’s critical sociology of moral boundaries, Men and Citizens in the Theory of International Relations, and Enloe’s pioneering gender analysis, Bananas, Beaches and Bases. It also innovatively considers certain ‘alternative format’ classics such as Kubrick’s satire on the nuclear arms race, Dr Strangelove, and Errol Morris’s powerful documentary on war and US foreign policy, The Fog of War. With an international cast of contributors, many of them leading authorities on their subject, Classics of International Relations will become a standard reference for all those wishing to make sense of a rapidly developing and diversifying field.

Classics of International Relations is designed to become a standard reference text for advanced undergraduates, post-graduates and lecturers in the field of IR.

国际关系经典》介绍了过去100年中关于国际关系最重要的24部作品，并对其进行了背景分析和评估。它为所有研究国际关系理论的学生，从高级本科生到学术专家，提供了一个不可或缺的指南，它提出了为什么这些作品被视为经典？它们的地位是否实至名归？它是否会持续下去？本书以诺曼-安格尔（Norman Angell）最畅销的《大幻觉》（1909）为起点，以丹尼尔-德尼（Daniel Deudney）获奖的《权力的边界》（2006）为结尾。本卷并没有忽视摩根索的《国家间政治》和华尔兹的《国际政治理论》等既定经典，而是试图将 "国际关系大典 "扩展到其核心的现实主义和自由主义文本之外。因此，它考虑了新出现的经典著作，如林克莱特的道德界限批判社会学，《国际关系理论中的男人和公民》，以及恩罗的开创性性别分析，《香蕉、海滩和基地》。它还创新性地考虑了某些 "替代格式 "的经典作品，如库布里克对核军备竞赛的讽刺《奇爱博士》，以及埃罗尔-莫里斯关于战争和美国外交政策的强大纪录片《战争迷雾》。国际关系经典》的撰稿人来自世界各地，其中许多人是各自领域的权威，它将成为所有希望了解这一快速发展和多样化领域的人的标准参考资料。

国际关系经典》旨在成为国际关系领域高级本科生、研究生和讲师的标准参考文本。
