Kenneth Waltz  

Definition

  • Kenneth N. Waltz is the author of two books— Man, the State and War (1959) and Theory of International Politics (1979)—that have made him one of the most cited, and controversial, authors in the field of international relations. In Man, the State and War, Waltz argues that scholars attempting to formulate an answer to the question of why war has been unavoidable in the international system until now might be classified into three categories according to the images they employ in giving their answer.
