Barry Buzan is Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
"The argument is rigorous and intriguing - revealing both for the
limits and possibilities of applying structural models to grand
strategy."
Alex Goodall, Times Higher Education Supplement
"An extremely lucid exposition of contemporary big power
international politics, with measured and sensible glimpses into
various conceivable future world orders."
John Dumbrell, International Affairs
"This is a superb piece of scholarship. It both draws on and
deepens contemporary IR theory and illuminates the real world of
post-9/11 international relations ... indeed, it does what few
current books in IR can claim in recent years - it truly links the
theoretical world to the real world and thereby advances our
understandings in both realms."
John Ikenberry, Georgetown University
"The subject of mapping the international system since the end of
the Cold War is one that has attracted a number of writers, but few
have approached it with the clarity and rigour of this text. Barry
Buzan writes very well, with the result that his argument is
readily accessible and easy to engage with."
James Mayall, University of Cambridge
