Bridging the Other Side of the Gap
Much has been written about the need to “bridge the gap” between the academic study of international relations—particularly policy-oriented subfields such as foreign policy analysis and security studies—and the needs of policymakers. This important agenda largely focuses on encouraging academics to produce more policy-relevant, accessible research. While such efforts are indispensable, they neglect another important piece of the equation: teachin…

Foreign Policy Analysis
This foreign policy analysis textbook is written especially for students studying to become national security professionals. It translates academic knowledge about the complex influences on American foreign policymaking into an intuitive, cohesive, and practical set of analytic tools. The focus here is not theory for the sake of theory, but rather to translate theory into practice. Classic paradigms are adapted to fit the changing realities of th…

How U.S. National Security Decisions Are Made
Pragmatism in the Midst of Iranian Turmoil
To assume that Iranian conservatives form an inflexible monolith is shortsighted. A number of factors have strengthened a cadre of pragmatic conservatives whose rise offers the possibility of a genuine dialogue with the U.S. and changes in Iranian foreign policy

Communitarian Realism
This article argues that community-building efforts across borders are motivated by traditional realist concerns about security rather than idealistic beliefs in universal principles. The creation of sustainable, cross-border institutions will come about because governments recognize that they are unable to meet basic challenges without increased cooperation. The emergence of common norms comes about through cooperation in coping with global chal…

Democratic Impulses versus Imperial Interests
Their Proclamation Has Gone Out Into All The Earth
The Bolsheviks who seized power in Petrograd on 7 November 1917 did not view their revolution as an isolated event in world history. Ten months earlier, the leader of the Party, Vladimir Lenin, had declared in a speech to young Swiss socialists that the Russian revolution ... is the prologue to the common European revolution.1 To this band of revolutionary Marxist internationalists the world was ripe for revolution in the wake of the chaos create…

Georgia Abandoned (1787–97)
The outbreak of war between the Russians and the Ottomans caught King Erekle by surprise. As a sign of good faith, and to signal his intent to carry out his Treaty with pasha Suleiman of Akhaltsikhe, Erekle had sent two Georgian princes as hostages to Suleiman’s court in July 1787.1 Erekle was on campaign when the news of the opening of hostilities reached him, with both the Georgian army and the Russian expeditionary force assisting in the quell…

The Receding Shadow of the Prophet
The tragic events of September 11, 2001, in the United States renewed fears of an Islamist wave destabilizing the countries of the Muslim world. Yet the alarm raised over a previous wave of Islamism in the early 1990s, which threatened to overwhelm Egypt and Algeria and spill into the Balkans and Central Asia, proved to be unfounded. Takeyh and Gvosdev assert that while Islamism has been successful as an oppositional ideology of wrath, it has fai…
