Features: This book is a classic work in the realist school of Western international relations theory. As indicated by its subtitle "Power Politics and Peace," the work aims to reveal the essence of international politics—power struggles—and explore pathways to achieving world peace. The author elaborates on the six principles of political realism, which form the core of his theory, pointing out that states in the international community struggle for their own power and interests. In the existing international system, only through the artful use of traditional diplomatic means can compromise and reconciliation between states be achieved, paving the way for the formation of a world state with central governmental authority to establish universal peace.
