Recenzje

'As the first major work to examine the realist-constructivist nexus in detail, Realist Constructivism is a must-read for IR scholars and students. Barkin's masterful synthesis of realism and constructivism delineates fresh analytical terrain and offers new insights about international politics. Comprehensive in both vision and scope, Realist Constructivism is a ground-breaking book and a major contribution to international relations theory.' Jennifer Sterling-Folker, University of Connecticut
