“Politics Among Nations: The Struggle for Power and Peace” by Hans J. Morgenthau, first published in 1948 and widely regarded as a classic in international relations theory, presents the foundations of classical realism. Morgenthau argues that international politics is governed by objective laws rooted in human nature, which drives states to seek power and act in their own national interest.
