The books in short, descriptions by /u/AlexDerLion
After Hegemony by Robert Keohane
>Considered a classic and leading text of the neo-liberal school of IR. This was developed in response to the prevailing doctrine of realism and argues instead that states can through competition provide absolute gains in the international environment without hegemony. What you’d expect to come away with knowledge of: neoliberalism, motives for international cooperation, perhaps a deeper understanding of European relations

The Social Construction of International Politics by Ted Hopf
>I have debated whether to include this, but I picked it up this morning and re read the first chapter and it is extremely accessible. This book is a fantastic introduction to constructivism that would be well suited to group discussion and can provide many a footnote for those late night essays when you need to define your terms. What you’d expect to come away with knowledge of: constructivism, the nature and role of identity in state decision making, the complex nature of identity, Soviet and Russian foreign policy, my thesis methodology.

The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War
>The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War – I know its cliché at this point to suggest this book but it really is that important. It provides a lot of models of IR to look at and evaluate, its examples are still relevant and underappreciated. The Peloponnesian War turned Greek balance of power on its head. It’s the book you’ll always regret not having read. And apparently Woodrow Wilson read the book on his transatlantic voyage before the Versailles Peace Conference, 1919. I haven’t read this particular edition but apparently it streamlines the narrative and provides a good deal of coherence.

The Tragedy of Great Power Politics by John Mearsheimer
>This book is a solid foundation piece, many users on here may have read this book but it is absolutely a great read for the understanding of IR. Mearsheimer writes with accessible language and not too much jargon. What you’d expect to come away with knowledge of: realism, international state of anarchy, land > water power, how states can survive.

Reordering the World by Duncan Bell
>Not necessarily an entry level IR book, this book explores the ideological and political roots of liberalism (and its relationship with imperialism. Exploring the works of Victorian era philosophers like John Stuart Mill, this book lays the groundwork for the liberal vision that would eventually overcome fascism and communism after two world wars – a great book.
