The Logic of Anarchy: Neorealism to Structural Realism

by Barry Buzan, Charles Jones, and Richard Little

The Logic of Anarchy is the first systematic attempt to rethink neorealist theory. It breaks free from the Cold War concerns that dominated neorealism and sets structural theory into a less politicized and more broadly historical and systemic context. By reconnecting unit and structural analysis and showing how structural ideas can be used to join many aspects of international relations theory and history into a coherent whole, The Logic of Anarchy lays the groundwork for a comprehensive theory of international relations based on a methodologically open structural realism.
