Professor Reus-Smit's research focuses on the politics of
international ethics and institutions, and he has published widely
on issues of global governance, multilateralism, human rights, and
international relations theory. Professor Reus-Smit is currently
engaged in projects on Resolving International Crises of Legitimacy
(funded by the British Academy and the Rockefeller Foundation), and
on the role of rights politics in the development of the modern
international system (funded by the Australian Research Council).
Duncan Snidal is an Associate Professor in the Harris School, the
Department of Political Science, and Chair of the Committee on
International
Relations. Snidal's research focuses on international relations
with an emphasis on international political economy and
institutions. He has worked on problems of international
cooperation, including how the distribution of capability and
interests affects outcomes. He is currently working on the role of
international institutions, including law and formal organizations,
in promoting cooperation. Snidal is also interested in applying
formal techniques to policy analysis. He is Director of the
Program on International Politics, Economics, and Security (PIPES)
and is currently Chair of the Committee on International Relations
at the University of Chicago.
`Review from previous edition The Oxford Handbook of International
Relations provides a magisterial overview of international theory
today. It explains the diversity of the field and analyses the
complex links between theory, method and political practice; it
highlights the common stake in fundamental ethical questions about
'how should we act?'; and it raises large questions about how far
progress in various sub-areas of investigation has advanced the
field overall. This compelling work deserves to be a major teaching
resource in the years ahead. But it should be more than that,
namely a significant influence on the conversation between
perspectives in the
next phase of the development of the discipline.'
Andrew Linklater, Woodrow Wilson Professor of International
Politics, Aberystwyth University.
`This blockbuster set is a must-have for scholars and students
alike. Each volume is crafted by a distinguished set of editors who
have assembled critical, comprehensive, essays. These volumes will
help to shape the discipline for many years to come.'
Theda Skocpol, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Government and
Sociology, Harvard University.
`This extraordinary series offers 'state of the art' assessments
that instruct, engage, and provoke. Both synoptic and directive,
the fine essays across these superbly edited volumes reflect the
ambitions and diversity of political science. No one who is
immersed in the discipline's controversies and possibilities should
miss the intellectual stimulation and critical appraisal these
works so powerfully provide.'
Ira Katznelson, Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History,
Columbia University.
