Man, the State, and War

Conspiring with the Enemy

A Theoretical Analysis,

The Ethic of Cooperation in Warfare

Anniversary Edition

Kenneth N. Waltz

Yvonne Chiu

Foreword by Stephen M. Walt

In this landmark work of international relations theory, first published in 1959, the eminent realist scholar Kenneth N. Waltz offers a foundational analysis of the nature of conflict between states. He explores works by both classic political philosophers, such as St. Augustine, Hobbes, Kant, and Rousseau, and modern psychologists and anthropologists to discover ideas intended to explain war among states and related prescriptions for peace. $30.00 / £24.00 paper 978-0-231-18804-3

In Conspiring with the Enemy, Yvonne Chiu offers a new understanding of why and how enemies work together to constrain violence in warfare. Chiu argues that what she calls an ethic of cooperation is found in modern warfare to such an extent that it is often taken for granted. $35.00 / £30.00 paper 978-0-231-18245-4 $105.00 / £88.00 cloth 978-0-231-18244-7 2019 360 pages
