The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, written by John J. Mearsheimer, is a seminal work in the field of international relations. The book presents a realist perspective on international politics, focusing on the competition and conflicts that arise among great powers. Mearsheimer argues that the pursuit of power and security by states often leads to a tragic outcome, as they engage in a zero-sum game to maximize their own interests. This book provides a critical analysis of the dynamics of power in international relations and offers insights into the challenges faced by states in maintaining their security and influence.
