Resurrecting a Discipline Enduring Scholarship for Evolving World Politics

Resurrecting a Discipline completes a trilogy in which George Liska, renowned scholar of international relations, encapsulates a lifetime of inquiry into past and present world relations in particular, seeking a theory that combines the two. The author takes as his starting point former Secretary of State Dean Acheson's call for a "usable theory" of international politics, integrating selec tions from his own many books on politics, world history, and international relations with analysis of the present and speculation on the future state of scholarship. Scholars of international relations, world politics, and political history will find this book a valuable addition to their collections. Book jacket.

George Liska retired in 1997 as Distinguished Service Professor of the Johns Hopkins University and Paul H. Nitze Professor of the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.
