Realist theory has dominated the study of international relations for more than half a century. In this provocative book, Lee Ryan Miller demonstrates that each of the fundamental assumptions of realism is seriously flawed. Then he pulls together the strands of a number of phenomena that cannot be explained by realism - the development of the European Union, the phenomenon of democratic peace, and the economic success of democratic states - to develop a liberal theory of international relations.
