About this book

International friendship is a distinct type of interstate relationship, and that as such, it can contribute to capture aspects of international politics that have long remained unattended. This book offers a framework for analyzing friendship in international politics by presenting a variety of conceptual approaches and empirical cases.

Reviews

'Oelsner and Koschut pose important questions about the nature of the international system and make a convincing case for why IR scholars should include international friendship in their analysis. They offer a solid theoretical foundation in the conceptual chapters, and their case is further strengthened by the empirical chapters that demonstrate the added value of studying international friendship. Their argument deserves serious consideration, which, ultimately, is also the friendly thing to give.' - Yuri van Hoef, University of Leeds, UK
