Reviews

Inis L. Claude, Jr., is one of the twentieth century's most interesting and important scholars of international relations and organization. A wide-ranging, nuanced, and discerning thinker, Claude remains worthy of continued attention, as Nejat Dogan compellingly argues in his important book. Dr. Dogan's thoughtful exploration of Claude and his 'pragmatic liberalism' constitute a valuable source for contemporary scholars and policy-makers.

An unyielding voice of careful reason and thought in a field of study typically fraught with conflict and dissension, Nejat Dogan is well-known as a leading scholar of international relations and world order…. As Editor-in-Chief of the Comparative Civilizations Review, I am happy to draw scholarly attention to this book for its valuable insights…. I call upon experts in international relations here and abroad to examine the ideas presented in this new work, as they help illuminate significant intellectual ground.

Given the current events in world politics, a fresh look at theories has been needed in the study of international relations for some time. Dr. Dogan offers a new approach beyond Realism and Idealism. This book will be helpful to students, scholars, and policymakers alike.
