International Studies Perspectives in 2017
The theme of the 2017 International Studies Association annual conference is “Understanding Change in World Politics.” Probably no one imagined the extent of the changes that would be upon us in 2017 when this conference theme was first proposed. This first issue of Volume 18 of International Studies Perspectives is being published in February at the same time as the annual conference, and so we offer this issue as the beginning of ISP’s contribu…
International Studies Perspectives in 2016
International Studies Perspectives (ISP) is a journal dedicated to building bridges between different academic disciplines, between the academic and policymaking worlds, and between teacher and students globally conceived. Volume 17 of ISP also bridges two other groups of professionals. First, this volume bridges two publishing teams. ISP was published by Wiley until the end of 2015—and some articles in this volume were previously published onlin…
Studying Peacekeeping: Goldilocks’ Problem
In Lise Morjé Howard's UN Peacekeeping in Civil Wars, one of the three key factors determining peacekeeping success or failure is the degree to which the UN Security Council is interested in a given case. Too much or too little interest results in what I will call Goldilocks' problem: moderate interest appears to be just right. The study and practice of peacekeeping over almost the last two decades has suffered from this same Goldilocks problem. …

Multitextual Analysis in the Service of Peace: Local People and Peacekeeping
The authors explore the use of personal narratives as a method for the study of conflict and peace, selecting as a site for interpretation the militarily and ethnically divided island of Cyprus. The international community has made a considerable investment in peacekeeping operations, but the many active sites of these operations can only be understood in terms of the multiple, intersecting, and often contending accounts of both the truth and the…

UN Peace-Keeping: In the Interest of Community or Self
This article examines whether state participation in UN peace-keeping results from a state's idealistic commitment to the global community and international peace or whether participation is tied to the state's national interest. With the high profile of UN peace-keeping in this post-Cold War era, the answer to this inquiry may suggest to us whether the emerging international system will be organized on the principles of community or self. This i…
Delineating state groups through cluster analysis
This discussion is extracted from a larger research project in which an attempt is made to remedy the conceptual difficulties surrounding the "middle state" in international relations by defining the middle state vis-à-vis other types of states and without reference to any single dominant ontological framework. In this section of that project, the statistical technique of cluster analysis is used to demonstrate that the international state system…
Empirical Observations on “Middle State” Behavior at the Start of a New International System
An earlier version of this article was presented at the 33rd Annual Convention of the International Studies Association, March 31‐April 4, 1992, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This version makes use of data gathered and codified by Frank L. Sherman as part of the SHERFACS events dataset. My thanks go to Frank for his assistance and suggestions on this article, and to Joe Hagan and Roger Knudson for suggestions on the earlier paper. All opinions remain, o…
