Abstract/Summary:
This thesis explores the significance of Morgenthauian realism for international relations through time. Fundamentally, it is argued that Morgenthau's focus on war, peace, the state and power is key to understanding international relations both as a theoretical activity and as a practical enterprise. Moreover, it is reasoned that Morgenthau's paradigm is greatly beneficial at this historical juncture wherein the seeds of a new world order are being sown.
