Abstract
AbstractChapter 19 engages realist theories about wars with each other. Graphic portrayal of respective theories following on from classical realism, described already in Chapters 11 to 18, facilitates moving forward with this agenda. Realist theories are identified as either complementary or competitive with each other. Opportunities are explored for combination and, when appropriate, more effective competition. Within the context of SIR, this activity is a form of systematic synthesis. Also in line with SIR, the chapter includes bricolagic bridging—engagement of realist theories with ideas from a major work of scholarship beyond this school of thought. This contact takes place in the spirit of analytic eclecticism, but with an eye on logical consistency and coherence as the work is carried out.
