A Model Disagreement

READ FULL ARTICLE

Abstract

Stephen Walt, now at Harvard University, reaffirms his position that recent work in rational choice theory has not provided powerful new insights to explain real-world phenomena. He also maintains that formal theory's contributions to the field of security studies should still be considered valuable. Walt concludes with a call for continued methodological and theoretical diversity and cautions against any one approach assuming hegemony in security studies.
