While global COVID-19 vaccination rates remain uneven and unequal, the resumption of safe and ethical in-person fieldwork has started to become possible in some parts of the world.

September 22, 2017September 14, 2020 By Stacie Goddard, Deborah Avant, Michael C. Desch, William C. Wohlforth, Sean M. Lynn-Jones

Political scientists have grown increasingly worried about the gender gap in their profession. According to data provided by the American Political Science Association, while women make up 42 percent of graduate students in the field, they account for only 24 percent of full time professors. While there are far more women in the discipline than…

Roundtable 9-2 on Diplomacy’s Value: Creating Security in 1920’s Europe and the Contemporary Middle East

September 30, 2016February 1, 2017 By James McAllister, Stacie E. Goddard, Rose McDermott, Brian McKercher, Brian Rathbun

It seems obvious that an understanding of the nature and value of diplomacy should be of central importance to the study of international relations. However, as Brian Rathbun argues in his important new book, the sad reality is that international relations theorists have devoted little time or attention to systematically exploring the value of diplomacy….

Article Review 16 on “Confronting Soviet Power: U.S. Policy during the Early Cold War.”

October 30, 2012September 28, 2015 By ISSF editor

My old tennis partner, Ernie May, liked to say that political scientists had a habit of making historians feel like waiters at a feast – providing the eternal backdrop for theorists’ experiments.[1] I certainly knew how he felt. I had seen this many, many times. But I certainly don’t have that feeling with the article…

Roundtable 4-1 on The Cold War and After: History, Theory, and the Logic of International Politics

September 3, 2012December 24, 2020 By H-Diplo

The relations between the disciplines of history and political science have always been both close and, partly for that reason, contested.   Political science grew in part out of history, which led its practitioners to be both deeply imbued with historical knowledge and to need to differentiate themselves from the study of history.

Roundtable 3-19 on How Wars End

August 1, 2012September 28, 2015 By H-Diplo

Historians and political scientists alike should appreciate Dan Reiter’s How Wars End. It eschews statistical analysis for comparative case-studies because the answers are “complex and nuanced” (6) and defers formal proofs for plain-language explanations. The six empirical chapters are based on case-specific puzzles rather than theory-driven questions. The three reviewers—Dale Copeland, Hein Goemans, and Zachary…
