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. 606 $aInternational relations$xPhilosophy 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aDiplomacy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternational relations$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aDiplomacy. 676 $a327.1/01 700 $aLepgold$b Joseph$0902653 702 $aNincic$b Miroslav 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455009503321 996 $aBeyond the ivory tower$92474635 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis 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
