S. Molloy 
The Hidden History of Realism 
A Genealogy of Power Politics

Challenging the received notions of International Relations theory about a central tradition – Realism – Molloy demonstrates how a belief in a mode of theorization has distorted Realism, forcing the theory of power politics in IR into a paradigmatic strait-jacket that is simply inadequate and inappropriate to the task of encompassing its diversity.
