His theory stresses the human need for self-esteem, and shows how it influences political behavior at every level of social aggregation. Lebow develops ideal-type worlds associated with four motives: appetite, spirit, reason and fear, and demonstrates how each generates a different logic concerning cooperation, conflict and risk-taking. Expanding and documenting the utility of his theory in a series of historical case studies, ranging from classical Greece to the war in Iraq, he presents a novel explanation for the rise of the state and the causes of war, and offers a reformulation of prospect theory. This is a novel theory of politics by one of the world's leading scholars of international relations.International relationsPhilosophyConstructivism (Philosophy)International relationsPhilosophy.Constructivism (Philosophy)327.101Lebow Richard Ned308100UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910821581603321A cultural theory of international relations3941572UNINA
