Morgenthau, Law and Realism

Delve into the thought-provoking analysis of Oliver Jütersonke in Morgenthau, Law and Realism, published by Cambridge University Press in 2012. This insightful work challenges the conventional assumptions surrounding Hans Morgenthau's realist thought, arguing that his intellectual roots are often misidentified. Jütersonke reveals that Morgenthau's key concepts are more closely tied to the European and American legal debates of the 1920s and 30s, rather than the traditional German Realpolitik. Spanning 216 pages, this paperback edition is a must-read for anyone interested in international relations, philosophy, and the evolution of political thought. Discover how Jütersonke reinterprets Morgenthau's legacy and enriches our understanding of realism in international politics.
