    It's due in tutorial 3, either the 28th of this month or the 6th of March depending on what group you're in (according the handout I got from my tutor). The title is "Why is neorealism described as a structural approach to international relations". Seems like everyone has been given the same title regardless of the tutorial group, might want to double check that though.

    Easily one of the dullest essay titles I've ever had.


    Mine is in on March 6th so I haven't started yet (still slogging away at the Analysing Politics one), and I'm not looking forward to it.

    any particular readings or core books that would be helpful?

    There's a few articles by Kenneth Waltz in the photocopy section of the library, we were told to read those - will be reading them myself later today so I'm not sure how useful they are, but it was our tutor who suggested reading them so I'm hoping they'll help! A couple of those are actually available online too if you google around for them, can't remember offhand where I got them from.

    I've read a bit from a book called 'Neorealism and its Critics' edited by Robert Keohane, that's been pretty decent but, as usual, there's only a few copies in the library and as of right now they're all out.

    Yeah, I have that and since I can't get my hands on Waltz main text (can't remember the name at the moment) its the next best thing because it has a few chapters taken from Waltz' book.

    I'll be dropping it back to short loan tomorrow, in case anyone is wondering :p
