A groundbreaking examination of a central question in international relations: Do states act rationally?

In this major statement, the renowned international-relations scholar John Mearsheimer argues that liberal hegemony, the foreign policy pursued by the United States since the Cold War ended, is doomed to fail.

It is widely believed in the West that the Unite...

Mezze verità, tremende falsità, allarmismi e omissioni. È la cassetta degli attrezzi del leader politico, che dosa sapientemente verità e bugie in base alla circostanza o all'interlocutore che ha di fronte. Ma quanto conta mentire nella politica internazionale? E perché appare quasi indispensabile saperlo fare?

For several decades America's foreign policy in the Middle East and elsewhere has operated under a single, overwhelming principle: support for Israel. What jeopardises both the United States' and Israel's national and strategic interests is not this support, but America's involvement with the Israel lobby: a loose coalition of right-wing individuals and organizations that actively work to shape US foreign policy. The Middle East seems set to r...

Mearsheimer and Walt describe the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the U.S. provides to Israel. In this important work, they argue that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds, but is due largely to the political influence of a few.
