In this first-of-its-kind conversation, leading academics and practitioners reflect on the nature and size of the theory-practice divide. They find the gap varies by issue area and over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this volume use data gathered by the Teaching, Research, and International Policy (TRIP) Project over a fifteen-year period. As a whole, the volume analyzes the structural factors that affect the academy's ability to influence policy across issue areas and the professional incentives that affect scholars' willingness to attempt to do so. Individual chapters explore these questions in the areas of trade, finance, human rights, development, environment, nuclear weapons and strategy, interstate war, and intrastate conflict. Each substantive chapter is followed by a response from a policy practitioner, providing their perspective on the gap and the possibility for academic work to have an impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBridging the Theory-Practice Divide in International Relations\u003c\/i\u003e provides concrete answers and guidance about how and when scholarship can be policy relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Maliniak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626167826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626167827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Daniel Maliniak","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126460379391,"sku":"9781626167827","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ee5e009-24ba-4d74-a05f-cfd5db80985a.jpg?v=1687448311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bridging-the-theory-practice-divide-in-daniel-malinak-9781626167827","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
