Uncertainty and Its Discontents: Worldviews in World Politics
This volume provides the first major study of worldviews in international relations. Worldviews are the unexamined, pre-theoretical foundations of the approaches with which we understand and navigate the world. Advances in twentieth century physics and cosmology and other intellectual developments questioning anthropocentrism have fostered the articulation of alternative worldviews that rival conventional Newtonian humanism and its assumption tha…
At Home Abroad: Identity and Power in American Foreign Policy
The United States has never felt at home abroad. The reason for this unease, even after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, is not frequent threats to American security. It is America's identity. The United States, its citizens believe, is a different country, a New World of divided institutions and individualistic markets surviving in an Old World of nationalistic governments and statist economies. In this Old World, the United States f…

Worldviews of Aspiring Powers: Domestic Foreign Policy Debates in China, India, Iran, Japan and Russia
This book provides a serious study of the domestic foreign policy debates in five world powers who have gained more influence as the US's has waned: China, Japan, India, Russia, and Iran. Featuring a leading regional scholar for each chapter, each chapter identifies the most important domestic schools of thought—nationalists, realists, globalists, idealists/exceptionalists—and connects them to the historical and institutional sources that fuel ea…
Ideas have consequences: The Cold War and today
No Alternative to “Isms: No Alternative to “Isms
In this thoughtful and well-intended essay, David Lake expresses a frustration with the sectarian debates among the "isms" of international relations and calls for a common lexicon or "Rosetta stone" that "aims to facilitate conversation across research traditions by suggesting that all theories of international studies can be disaggregated into the basic and common concepts of interests, interactions, and institutions." But his lexicon inevitabl…
Is American Hegemony Bad or Just Better than Alternatives
This collection of essays covers familiar ground but still offers value as a largely Asian perspective on hegemony and globalization. Fourteen of the 18 contributors are from Asia, nine from India alone. In an introduction by Chandra Chari, the volume rejects the notion, popular among Western realists, that American hegemony is necessary to avoid anarchy and expects “the processes of globalization, which have economically empowered a large number…

Why ‘The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers’ was wrong
In 1987, Paul Kennedy predicted in his best-selling book, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers , that the Pacific region, especially Japan and China, would rise in power, while the then Soviet Union, the United States and Europe would decline in power. Except for Russia, his predictions have not fared well. Why? His realist model of international politics ignored the role of national identities. National identities involve domestic institutions …
Pattern and Factors Associated with Glycemic Control of Saudi Diabetic Patients
The association of insulin therapy with poor glycemic control is not a cause-effect relationship. Insulin therapy in our study population is underutilized, given the high rate of poor glycemic control and high rate of relative occurrence of complication among the Saudi diabetic population. There is a need to address the importance of maintaining good glycemic control, and the reason for the low rate of insulin users. Close periodic monitoring of …

Collective responses to R&D problems in Western Europe: 1955–1958 And 1968–1973
Collective responses to technology-related international problems may differ in terms of organizational outcomes (new, modified, or no organizations). Some of this difference may be accounted for by contrasting objectives and capabilities of major actors. Actors may emphasize different dimensions of the policy setting, possess varying amounts of resources and information to affect that setting, and accordingly prefer alternative responses. Possib…

The diplomacy of world food: Goals, Capabilities, Issues and Arenas
Food is a factor in international diplomacy as a direct instrument of policy and as a condition underlying policy. Grain trade is particularly important. For most of the postwar period, principal grain exporting countries pursued policies designed to support domestic prices, using foreign agricultural policy to dispose of accumulated surpluses and to pursue broader non-food (political and economic) objectives. Grain importing countries came to re…
The Practice of Interdependence in the Research and Development Sector: Fast Reactor Cooperation in Western Europe
Scholars of international politics have recently offered the concepts of transnationalism and interdependence as alternatives to the state-centric paradigm for studying the impact of advancing technology on modern world politics. 1 While these concepts in themselves are not new and may, to some extent, share the normative biases of earlier theoretical challenges to the state-centric model (e.g., regional integration theory), 2 they should be exam…
