The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, written by John J. Mearsheimer, delves into the dynamics of international relations among major powers. Mearsheimer argues that the pursuit of power and security by states often leads to conflict, as they engage in a competitive struggle for dominance. He explores the balance of power, alliances, and the impact of geography on international relations. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the realist perspective in international relations and its implications for global stability.
