Books by Edward Rhodes

Explores the basic concepts of international politics and investigates the causes of war. The selections in this anthology are drawn from major theoretical writings on international relations and offer sophisticated explanations of the forces and factors that shape the behaviour of states in the international system.

The world has long experience of global powers seeking to influence and stabilise strategic regions by stationing armed forces around the globe. This volume reviews this history in the context of the unchallenged military supremacy of the US and considers the potential for peacetime deployments.
