520    When seeking to understand why nations come into conflict,
       political scientists tend to focus either on threats to 
       national security (realism) and or on moral duty, ideology,
       and domestic pressures (liberalism). Liberalism has been 
       the major lens for international relations scholars 
       analyzing the United States, due to the country's strong 
       democratic foundations. In this expansive new book, Dale 
       Copeland argues that the realist cast can shed fascinating
       light on American foreign policy--if one looks beyond 
       security threats to consider economic threats as well. 
       Copeland's "commercial approach to realism" establishes a 
       new understanding of realism in three ways: by building 
       out a new realist theory, by showing how this commercial 
       approach applies to the United States, and by projecting 
       this theory onto different scenarios that may arise in 
       future conflicts between the United States and China.
