And yet, wars nonetheless occur over and over again. Why does the crisis of war never go away? Is it possible to realize peace in the world? First published in 1966, this introductory text on international politics by eminent Japanese political scientist K?saka Masataka (1934?1996) has gone through more than 50 printings in his home country and remains in print today. In this work, framed by his interest in the problems of war and of peace, K?saka eschewed simply schematizing or idealizing international relations, let alone?as prewar Japanese diplomats and politicians had?giving up on developing an accurate understanding of the issue by simply dismissing it as too complex to understand. K?saka drew on the specific cases of arms reduction, economic exchange, and international mechanisms to analyze ongoing issues that are intertwined with national interests and ideologies. By doing so, he painted a systematic portrait of the problem of peace and how to achieve it.--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPolitical science 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aPolitical science. 700 $aKo?saka$b Masataka$f1934-1996,$0247163 702 $aMasayuki$b Tadakoro 702 $aFreire$b Carl 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910671201303321 996 $aInternational politics and the search for peace$93078826 997 $aUNINA
