Comment On Epithetical Books The Twenty Years' Crisis

An international relations classic. Most international relations divide liberal v realism with formerly Marxism and now postmodernism as a third theory.Carr lumps Marxism and liberalism into "utopianism." Both the individual and class based forms of utopianism fail to understand the way international politics works. Class consciousness did nothing against the Nationalism of 1914, nor did the international economic liberalism. Carr argues that one must balance a realist and "Utopian" view to

I learnt a great deal from the book, the content makes it 5 stars. Moreover, it was written in a really interesting period, right before World War II: Hitler was already a well-known and disquieting figure, the British Empire still existed, the United States was not officially yet the top superpower on Earth.However, I feel that the same content could've been compressed, the last 50 pages did not really contain any new message. I had a hard time finishing the book.

This book, perhaps the one for which Carr is best remembered, was written immediately before the start of World War II, and is considered one of the seminal texts of international relations. In fact, the preface to the first edition is dated September 30, 1939, a mere four weeks after the Wehrmacht invaded Poland. This is by no means incidental to the content, either. Twenty Years Crisis is a thoroughgoing critique of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century international politics and especially

Having been taught that Carr was a hard-core "realist" in the past, I was surprised to find Marxist and constructivist undercurrents in the book. The book was clear, concise and engaging for a largely theoretical work

Edward Hallett Carr was a British historian who wrote, among other subjects, about the early Soviet Union, the period between the two world wars and, not least, a superb study of history itself. I've recently reread his book about the inter-war period, 1919-1939, that attempts to explain the failure of Europe and the United States to fashion a new international order that would prevent the very things that did occur with the rise of fascism and Nazism. It's an interesting subject, but Carr has a

An excellent book for the articulation of early realism in international relations studies. His goal is to debunk what he sees as the utopianism that drove international relations in the inter-war period when how states should act in relation to each other was embedded in institutions and relations rather than how they act. The missing ingredient to Carr is power. It is fine to suggest how states should act but watching them will produce a different result. He not only discusses the utopianism

This is an amazing book. Lucidly written and full of gems, wisdom and brilliant quotes. Timely as if it had been published yesterday!Reading this book has corrected two misconceptions I held:1. Despite the title this is not a work of history, outlining chronologically the events that led to WWII. Quite the contrary, actually, as it is more a work of history of thought and was finished in 1939.2. Contrary to what most IR textbooks will lead us to believe, this is not a foundational text of
