This is a good text to use for a course in the theories of International Relations (IR). The book is divided into sections according to the main theoretical families of IR such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, Marxism, and the English School. The editor introduces the theory in one chapter, then two practitioners of the theoretical discipline author essays from that perspective on the Iraq War. The choice of the Iraq War is useful, because it works for the current cohort in school, rather than using WWI or WWII for examples, which are ancient history to current students.
