Many international relations scholars no longer try to reach beyond the ivory tower and many policymakers disdain international relations scholarship as arcane and irrelevant. Joseph Lepgold and Miroslav Nincic demonstrate how good international relations theory can inform policy choices. Globalization, ethnic conflict, and ecological threats have created a new set of issues that challenge policymakers, and cutting-edge scholarship can contribute a great deal to the diagnosis and handling of potentially explosive situations.International relationsPhilosophyInternational relationsDiplomacyElectronic books.International relationsPhilosophy.International relations.Diplomacy.327.1/01Lepgold Joseph902653Nincic MiroslavMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455009503321Beyond the ivory tower2474635UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
