In Theory and in Practice
Harvard University inaugurated a new research center devoted to international relations in 1958. The Center for International Affairs (CFIA) was founded by State Department Director of Policy Planning Staff, Robert R. Bowie, at the invitation of McGeorge Bundy, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Joined by Henry A. Kissinger, Edward S. Mason, and Thomas C. Schelling, Bowie quickly established the CFIA as a hub for studying international affairs in the United States.

Defending the National Interest
The book's basic analytic assumption is that there is a distinction between state and society. "Defending the National Interest" shows that the problem for political analysis is how to identify the underlying social structure and the political mechanisms through which particular societal groups determine the government's behavior.
Network Power
For all the attention globalization has received in recent years, little consensus has emerged concerning how best to understand it.

Allies Or Adversaries?
Beginning with Sir Michael Palliser in 1985 and concluding with Secretary General of NATO Manfred Worner in 1992, the distinguished Spaak Lectures included in this volume have addressed the fundamental questions of international politics: What is the nature of national power and influence and what are the limitations on American influence in particular? What role can Europe play in a world of changing power relationships? How will Europe react to the political, economic, social, and security challenges that have been thrust upon it in recent times? How much should Europe and the United States seek to integrate and contain Germany? Other contributors include Karl Otto Pohl, Filipe Gonzalez, Raymond Barre, Frans Andriessen, and Jiri Dienstbier. Supplemented with an introductory chapter by Richard C. Eichenberg and the transcript of the Spaak Conference held in Brussels in October 1991, this book will enrich scholars or indeed anyone seeking a deeper understanding of U.S.-European relations. Co-published with the Center for International Affairs, Harvard University.
