Two Worlds of International Relations Academics, Practitioners and the Trade in Ideas

The aims of this book are to discover how significant academic work in international relations has become for practitioners involved in policy formulation and implementation, and to examine the impact of the policy community on academic work and academic values. On the academic side, theoretical, historical and political economy perspectives are presented. On the practitioner side, there are contributions from diplomats, lawyers and parliamentarians. The principal question at issue is whether, if there is a natural partnership between the modern academic and foreign policy makers, there needs to be preserved a respectful distance between the two worlds.Hill, Christopher is the author of 'Two Worlds of International Relations Academics, Practitioners and the Trade in Ideas', published 1994 under ISBN 9780415069700 and ISBN 041506970X.
