Description

Realpolitik: A History by John Bew explores the concept's enduring relevance in international relations. The book delves into the genesis of Realpolitik, tracing its development in the mid-19th century and its application in foreign policy from the days of Bismarck onward. Historian John Bew examines the context that gave birth to Realpolitik, including the fervor of radical change in 1848 in Europe. He also illuminates the translation of Realpolitik from German into English, revealing the uniquely Anglo-American version of the term that is practiced today. This book offers a lively and encyclopedic account of a term that has shaped and continues to shape international relations.
