They spent seven meetings assessing approaches to world politics -- from the "realist" theory of Hans Morgenthau to theories of imperialism of Karl Marx and V.I. Lenin -- to discern basic elements of a theory of international relations. The study group's materials are an indispensable window to the development of IR theory, illuminating the seeds of the theory-practice nexus in Cold War U.S. foreign policy. Historians of International Relations recently revised the standard narrative of the field's origins, showing that IR witnessed a sharp turn to theoretical consideration of international politics beginning around 1950, and remained preoccupied with theory. Taking place in 1953-54, the CFR study group represents a vital snapshot of this shift. This book situates the CFR study group in its historical and historiographical contexts, and offers a biographical analysis of the participants. It includes seven preparatory papers on diverse theoretical approaches, penned by former Berkeley political scientist George A. Lipsky, followed by the digest of discussions from the study group meetings. American Power and International Theory at the Council on Foreign Relations, 1953-54 offers new insights into the early development of IR as well as the thinking of prominent elites in the early years of the Cold War. 606 $aNonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aPolitics$2OverDrive 607 $aUnited States$xForeign policy 610 $adiplomacy 610 $aforeign relations 610 $apolitics and government 610 $athema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JP Politics and government 610 $athema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JP Politics and government::JPS International relations::JPSD Diplomacy 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aPolitics. 676 $a940.532241 686 $aPOL000000$aPOL011010$2bisacsh 700 $aMCCOURT$b DAVID M$0907124 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan), 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910372825503321 996 $aAmerican power and international theory at the council on foreign relations, 1953-54$92029327 997 $aUNINA
