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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs on Pioneers in Science and Practice,$x2194-3125 ;$v37 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPolitical theory 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aInternational Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aDemocracy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911050 610 $alibertarianism 610 $aCold War 610 $apeace 610 $agenocide 610 $ademocracy 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aPolitical theory. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 14$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aDemocracy. 676 $a327 700 $aNils Petter Gleditsch$4auth$01356414 702 $aGleditsch$b Nils Petter$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910231237203321 996 $aR.J.
