The book, already in its sixth edition, is a fundamental manual in many universities. The analysis focuses on the three most important issues of international relations: Firstly, the history of international relations, the theory of international relations, and socio-political diversity in place and time. Secondly, the dialectical relationship of international anarchy, state sovereignty, society, and ethics in the international arena. Thirdly, the political aspects of international law, international institutions, and the issue of "international" interventions. At the same time, these issues are connected to the acquired knowledge of the political philosophy of international relations and the reliable interpretive examples of international relations.
