Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book reassesses the contribution to international thought of some of the most important thinkers of the inter-war period and challenges the commonly-held view that writing on international relations between the two world wars was uniformly utopian.
MoreLong description:
This book reassesses the contribution to international thought of some of the most important thinkers of the inter-war period. It takes as its starting point E. H. Carr's famous critique which, more than any other work, established the reputation of the period as the `utopian' or `idealist' phase of international relations theorizing. This characterization of inter-war thought is scrutinized through ten detailed studies of such writers as Norman Angell, J. A. Hobson, J. M. Keynes, David Mitrany, and Alfred Zimmern. The studies demonstrate the diversity of perspectives within `idealism' and call into question the descriptive and analytical value of the entire notion. It is concluded that `idealism' is an overly general term, useful for scoring debating points rather than providing a helpful category for analysis.
David Long and Peter Wilson have brought together a strong team of scholars ... What emerges from this work is the extent of the diversity of thought amongst inter-war IR thinkers ... David Long is able to conclude that the realist-idealist dichotomy fails to do justice to the richness of ideas presented in this book.
