Karl W. Deutsch: Pioneer in the Theory of International Relations
This book celebrates the continuing importance of a world-class leader in the theory and scientific analysis of international relations and comparative politics. Topics on which Karl Deutsch wrote prolifically included nationalism, social communication, European integration, cybernetics, war & peace, arms control, social cybernetics, general systems analysis, and global modeling. He had a deep understanding of European political and intellectual history, experienced the violence induced by nationalism in pre-WWII Europe, and in 1938 fled Czechoslovakia for the United States following Hitler’s takeover of the Sudetenland. Subsequently he pioneered the development and analysis of large-scale political and social data across nations and over time. He became a powerful global proponent of widespread access to this data and its public scientific evaluation. He was a world citizen, and very likely the most distinguished social scientist on international relations of his generation.
Political Community At The International Level
First published in 1954, Karl W. Deutsch¿s essay laid the foundation for the study of political integration. After being out of print for many years, this volume offers a new printing of the original work for a new generation of scholars interested in processes of political integration, international relations, and general political development. Karl Wolfgang Deutsch (1912¿1992) lived his early life in Prague where he received degrees from the Deutsche Universität in 1934 and Charles University in 1938. After immigrating to the U.S., he received the Ph.D. from Harvard in 1951. He taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, and then returned to Harvard as a Professor of Government and eventually served as the Stanfield Professor Emeritus of International Peace. After serving in the U.S. government during the Second World War, Deutsch took part in the 1945 San Francisco conference that resulted in the founding of the United Nations.
