On the Boundaries focuses on the connections between international relations, comparative politics and foreign policy.
To many observers, international relations and comparative politics recently have lost focus. Both fields continually move away from foreign policy concerns.
In this provocative volume, Howard J. Wiarda, the Dean Rusk Professor of International Relations in UGA’s School of Public and International Affairs and senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., details where these fields have gone astray, indicates what must be done to correct their downward trajectories and offers probing analyses of recent hot political topics that reforge the links between international relations, comparative politics and foreign policy.
