Explanation
★The definition that international politics covers political relations and the problems of peace among nations was given by Hans J. Morgenthau.
★Morgenthau is the founder of modern classical realism and the author of 'Politics Among Nations' (1948).
★He defined international politics as a struggle for power among nations pursuing their national interests.
★For Morgenthau, the management of these power relations and the search for peace form the core of the discipline.
★He set out six principles of political realism, treating interest defined as power as the master key to politics.
★Charles Schleicher and Norman Padelford wrote IR textbooks but did not give this particular definition.
★Harold Sprout is known with Margaret Sprout for the ecological and environmental approach to world politics.
★Morgenthau's realism, with national interest at its centre, remains the standard reference point in International Relations theory.
