What World Leaders Forget about World Politics
Harvard Faculty, Fellows, Staff, and Students
Speaker: Stephen M. Walt, Faculty Chair, International Security Program
Scholars have developed several simple and widely accepted concepts to explain key aspects of world politics. Yet leaders of many countries often act in ways that violate these principles, usually with unfortunate consequences for themselves and for others. By contrast, leaders who are aware of these tendencies and take them into account usually do much better. International conflict would not disappear if more policymakers understood and appreciated these simple ideas, but it would probably be reduced significantly.
