The book opens with a series of chapters discussing differences, commonalities, and opportunities for cross-fertilization between the two disciplines.To help focus the dialogue on real events and research, the volume then revisits three empirical topics that have been studied at length by members of both disciplines: British hegemony in the nineteenth century; diplomacy in the interwar period and the causes of World War II; and the origins and course of the Cold War. For each of these subjects, a political scientist, a historian, and a commentator reflect on how disciplinary \"guild rules\" have shaped the study of international events. The book closes with incisive overviews by Robert Jervis and Paul W. Schroeder.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBridges and Boundaries\u003c\/i\u003e explores how historians and political scientists can learn from one another and illustrates the possibilities that arise when open-minded scholars from different disciplines sit down to talk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Elman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262550393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262550390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.20w x 1.07d","brand":"Colin Elman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056713330943,"sku":"9780262550390","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e4a70ad-f643-4c8d-b4cf-9158ac1d87c2.jpg?v=1685042843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bridges-and-boundaries-colin-elman-9780262550390","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
