This book is unique in illuminating and comparing the charismatic role of two political leaders, Jawaharlal Nehru and David Ben-Gurion, along with assessments of many other 20th century political leaders. Its aim is to enrich our knowledge of an important dimension of global politics: charismatic leadership. The central role of political leaders in shaping the behavior of states has been universally recognized since the political systems of antiquity in East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. With the massive increase of independent states since the end of World War II, from 55 initial members of the United Nations to more than 200 today, and especially the emergence of awesome weapons of mass destruction, the centrality of political leaders in the survival of the planet has grown exponentially. Both India and Israel have experienced the crucial role of charismatic leaders, Nehru and Ben Gurion, who dominated their states and societies for a near-identical formative period in their political independence, 1947-64 and 1948-63 respectively, as charismatic leaders. Their impact, Brecher shows, extended far beyond their states to both their geographic regions and global politics.

This book is an effort to overcome the major obstacle to a creative system orientation in world politics-a dearth of knowledge about system-level change. It involves the study of international crisis and its role in change.

Written especially for the collection, these essays are inhardcover in the form of an easy-to-use handbook, and in paperback as a number of separate titles, each of which consists of a particular thematic cluster to merge with the range of topics taught in undergraduate and graduate courses in international studies. \par\pard\s1\sa100\sb100\li0\plain\fs24 The themes addressed are realism, institutionalism, critical perspectives, feminist theory and gender studies, methodology (formal modeling, quantitative, and qualitative), foreign policy analysis, international security and peace studies, and international political economy. \par\pard\s1\sa100\sb100\li0\plain\fs24 This collection provides an accessible and wide-ranging survey of the issues in the field as well as an invaluable bibliography, and will undoubtedly determine the shape of future research in international studies for the millennium. \par\pard\s1\sa100\sb100\li0\s8\sa100\sb100\keepn\outlinelevel4\plain\fs24\b1\fs24 Paperbacks for course adoption: \par\pard\s1\sa100\sb100\li0\plain\fs24{\field{\*\fldinst HYPERLINK "http: //www.press.umich.edu/titles/08859.html"}{\fldrslt\pard\s1\sa100\sb100\li0\plain\fs24\cs16\cf1\ul Realism and Institutionalism in International Studies}}\plain\fs24 \line Michael Brecher and Frank P.
