International Relations
The international relations faculty is well versed to examine the problems and possibilities of our age. Over fifteen faculty members focus specifically on international affairs and teach classes that amply cover the recognized fields in international relations: international institutions and law (Martha Finnemore, Chad Rector, and Henry Farrell), international political economy (Susan Sell, Henry Farrell, and Henry Nau), international security (James Lebovic and Charles Glaser), and foreign policy (James Goldgeier, Henry Nau, Elizabeth Saunders).
The IR faculty prides itself on theoretical and methodological eclecticism and problem oriented research. While the faculty's research represents a wide range of methodological approaches (including case studies, formal models, surveys, and quantitative analysis), it has a particular focus on the connections between international and domestic variables in the creation of regional security architectures (James Goldgeier, Mike Mochizuki, March Lynch), preemption and deterrence (Charles Glaser, James Lebovic), internet politics (Henry Farrell), wars of choice (Elizabeth Saunders), the evolution of intellectual property (Susan Sell), identity politics (Henry Nau, Marc Lynch), and the general workings of global governance (Martha Finnemore).
