The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, written by John J. Mearsheimer, offers a realist perspective on international relations. Mearsheimer argues that the international system is inherently competitive, and states are driven by the pursuit of power. He explores the dynamics of great power politics, the balance of power, and the strategies employed by states to maximize their security and influence. The book provides a critical analysis of the challenges faced by major powers in maintaining stability and avoiding conflicts in a multipolar world.
