This book provides an authoritative account of the controversy
about the first great debate in the field of International
Relations. Of all the self-images of International Relations,
none is as pervasive and enduring as the notion that a great
debate pitting idealists against realists took place in the
1940s.
This book provides an authoritative account of the controversy
about the first great debate in the field of International
Relations. Of all the self-images of International Relations,
none is as pervasive and enduring as the notion that a great

1940s.
The story of the first great debate continues to structure the
contemporary identity of International Relations, yet in recent
years revisionist historians have challenged the conventional
wisdom that the field experienced such a debate. Drawing on
expert contributors working in Canada, Europe, the United
Kingdom, and the United States, this book includes key
participants in the historiographical controversy. The book
assembles the existing scholarship and provides a thorough
analysis of the status of the first great debate in the history
of International Relations. It is an invaluable examination of
the causes and future direction of idealist and realist
arguments.
