In The Cold War and After, Marc Trachtenberg, a leading historian of international relations, explores how historical work can throw light on these questions. The essays in this book deal with specific problems--with such matters as nuclear strategy and U.S.-European relations. But Trachtenberg's main goal is to show how in practice a certain type of scholarly work can be done. He demonstrates how, in studying international politics, the conceptual and empirical sides of the analysis can be made to connect with each other, and ?how historical, theoretical, and even policy issues can be tied together in an intellectually respectable way. These essays address a wide variety of topics, from theoretical and policy issues, such as the question of preventive war and the problem of international order, to more historical subjects--for example, American policy on Eastern Europe in 1945 and Franco-American relations during the Nixon-Pompidou period. But in each case the aim is to show how a theoretical perspective can be brought to bear on the analysis of historical issues, and how historical analysis can shed light on basic conceptual problems. 410 0$aPrinceton studies in international history and politics. 606 $aWorld politics$xPhilosophy 606 $aWorld politics$y1989- 606 $aWorld politics$y1945-1989 606 $aCold War 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld politics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a327.1 700 $aTrachtenberg$b Marc, $0478759 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996472057203316 996 $aThe Cold War and After$92843354 997 $aUNISA
