Introduction to international politics courses typically have
multiple goals. On the one hand, instructors seek to introduce
students to the discipline through readings and discussions of
foundational theoretical perspectives and ongoing debates. On the
other hand, instructors seek to help students become informed
participants in policy debates about foreign policy and
international politics issues by highlighting pressing contemporary
issues. Effectively addressing both concerns requires more than
simply including both topics in the course syllabus or in a
textbook. It requires making systematic linkages between theory and
policy. This is a long standing challenge in international
politics, one raised many years ago by Alexander George in Bridging
the Gap in which he called for greater communication between
academic scholars and practitioners. This text seeks to link theory
and policy in an organized and efficient fashion that does not
ignore or slight the conceptual discussion of international
relations or simply chase newspaper headlines. Chapters are
organized around “Global Challenges and Policy Responses.” The
challenges are presented as concrete policy problems relevant to
the theme of the chapter. The discussion of responses emphasize
concrete actions being taken or proposed by international
organizations, the foreign policies of key states, international
agreements, and actions taken by NGOs. Theoretical insights are
used to help students understand challenges, think about solutions,
and learn from the past.
