During the past half-dozen years the interest in international relations theory has risen remarkably. The volume of writing, including descriptive and analytical materials, by the professional students of the field has grown to the extent that courses of study on theory may now be put on the sound foundation of a special literature. Collections of essays on international relations theory have appeared, and more will be published shortly. The development is clear and certain; therefore, it is timely to ask what this thrust toward theorizing intends and portends. Of what use is it? What place has it in the advancement of the science or art of international relations
