The book provides a critical and constructive assessment of the many contributions to social science and politics made by Professor R. J. Rummel. Rummel was a prolific writer and an important teacher and mentor to a number of people who in turn have made their mark on the profession. His work has always been controversial. But after the end of the Cold War, his views on genocide and the democratic peace in particular have gained wide recognition in the profession. He was also a pioneer in the use of statistical methods in international relations. His work in not easily classified in the traditional categories of international relations research (realism, idealism, and constructivism). He was by no means a pacifist and his views on the US-Soviet arms race led him to be classified as a hawk. But his work on the democratic peace has become extremely influential among liberal IR scholars and peace researchers. Above all, he was a libertarian.SpringerBriefs on Pioneers in Science and Practice,2194-3125 ;37International relationsPolitical theoryDemocracyInternational Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Democracyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911050libertarianismCold WarpeacegenocidedemocracyInternational relations.Political theory.Democracy.International Relations.Political Theory.Democracy.327Nils Petter Gleditschauth1356414Gleditsch Nils Petteredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910231237203321R.J.
