The discipline of international relations is contentious and disagrees about most things.

One point where almost everybody will agree is that the most influential theorist of the last 50 years is Kenneth N. Waltz. Not only did he device one of the most distinct and powerful theories, neo-realism, he also influenced all other schools and debates by setting the terms for how to think about theory in the field.

The Danish Ph.D. School is proud to announce a one-week course with Kenneth Waltz.

The emphasis will be as much on devising and evaluating theories as on the specifics of realist theories.

The course runs over five full days with discussion each afternoon of papers by the participants.


A NEW BOOK BY AMITAI ETZIONI

From Empire to Community: A New Approach to International Relations, a new book by section member Amitai Etzioni, looks at how we can rethink and restructure the global architecture by blending ideas from the left and the right and adopting both Eastern and Western values.

As the book shows, key to this new world order will be the creation of transnational bodies, charged with addressing those issues that effect all of us from terrorism and security to environmental safety and human rights.


From Empire to Community
has received a warm reception by renowned scholars and leading public officials, such as Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende who called the book "a pioneering work of vital importance to the formation of a new way of international thinking."

Amitai Etzioni is a university professor at The George Washington University where he directs The Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies.
