Abstract
What does it mean to think like a Realist? The question is important in the study of international politics. According to a recent survey of the field, more than 90 per cent of the hypotheses tested by behaviourists in international politics were Realist in conception. A wider survey of the field taken in 1972 (which included those more historically inclined) identified the American Realist Hans Morgenthau as the leading scholar of international relations and hisPolitics Among Nationsas the leading book. The overwhelming majority of other prominent postwar general theorists have worked inside the Realist tradition.Keywords
