Many of you were kind enough to share your thoughts on what I should assign in my IR Theory Seminar this year. Now that I’ve got something on paper, thought I’d provide the link so that those interested can see the current draft. Comments on this thread will no doubt be studied closely by my IR students as empirical evidence of ongoing debates about the constitution of our field. ;)
