"Who-Whom" / "Theory-Policy"
By A couple of weeks ago at the Duck I poked fun at the debate Joseph Nye stirred up about whether IR theory is relevant to thinking about foreign policy. [He’s still at it, by the way; check out this bloggingheads.]
Then I got my copy of this month’s Foreign Policy. All I can say is, if Strobe Talbott can go around presaging his prognostications about great power politics and Russia’s rise with reference to Hobbes’ state of nature and Kant’s perpetual peace, then we’ve got nothing to worry about.
