Congratulations, @spectermatt! Well deserved! Yet another reason for OLLI members to be excited about your upcoming course.
IR Book of the Week! "The Atlantic Realists" by @spectermatt. Traces out the imperialistic origins of realist thought. Useful for thinking about whether the "true" realism is more "defensive" or "offensive". https://t.co/usmsJDwg34
