Man, the State and War: A theoretical Analysis. In 1959 Waltz wrote in *Man, the State, and War* about three "images" of politics: the individual, the state, the international system. Waltz's argument stems directly from the logic of nuclear deterrence and the balance of power, a concept he reinvigorated in his seminal text "Man, the State, and War".

The lecture series launched by Buzan and Cox has proved a fitting way to further the debates fired by Kenneth Waltz his landmark books Man, the State and War, and Theory of International Politics. Some of you might have seen the summer 2009 issue of International Relations; a retrospective on Man, the State, and War, by Kenneth Waltz, and its fiftieth anniversary.
