• W263014632 abstract "A STUDENT'S GUIDE TO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Angelo M. Codevilla Wilmington, DE: ISI Books 99 pages, paper, $8.00A Student's Guide to International Relations is part of a series of Guides to Major Disciplines published by Intercollegiate Studies Institute. The book is designed to serve as an introduction to International Relations (IR) for students-to help them understand both subject and academic discipline that has grown up to study it. In this short volume, Angelo M. Codevilla, Ph.D., provides an overview of IRin academia and also geography, inhabitants, and history of global system.Codevilla is a Senior Fellow at Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank based in Claremont, California. He received his B.A. from Rutgers University and later his M.A. from Notre Dame University. He has a Ph.D. in Security Studies, U.S. Foreign Policy, and Political Theory from Claremont Graduate University; during his time there, he studied with Leo Strauss. He has published a number of books, including Informing Statecraft. He is currently professor emeritus of international relations at Boston University and Vice Chairman of U.S. Army War College Board of Visitors.Codevilla's writing reflects his strong background in Western political philosophy. He divides A Student's Guide to International Relations into seven sections, beginning with an introductory overview that answers question What is IR? and closing with a recommended reading list comprising IR classics and more recent area-specific works. Overall, book is an effective introduction to topic. However, in introducing IR, Codevilla addresses subjects of geography and nature of civilizations. It is here that reader may become somewhat uncomfortable with his Western-centric explanations.In fact, reading Codevilla's book is rather like his description of Indian subcontinent on page 25: a series of peaks (Yes!) and valleys (Wait, no!). The introduction, for instance, is an admirable overview of IR in education, America's early history of foreign relations, and three main branches of contemporary IR practice. In chapter two, though, while Codevilla is in process of providing an excellent geographic and demographic overview of world, he describes different parts of Africa (and its peoples) as, variously, being in business of exporting refugees from misery (p. 23) and being a place where tribal savagery trumps natural wealth (p. 24). Fond of a succinct turn of phrase, Codevilla asserts that in Rwanda independence meant genocide following a period during which benevolent colonialists established peace (p. 24). Younger readers, particularly those not of U.S. origin, may be surprised at such a straightforwardly narrow and Western-centric appraisal of African continent and its peoples. Unfortunately, this issue is compounded by Codevilla's broad assessment of all persons raised in... [non-Judeo-Christian] when he notes that civilizations did not enable bright minds to conceive of carburetors or imagine atoms (p. 33). This is followed by comments regarding stunted role of and lack of space for curiosity in Muslim lives (p. 35).By end of his brief section on Civilizations and Character of Nations, Codevilla also manages to offhandedly provide a completely inaccurate and painfully dismissive portrait of modern environmentalism (p. 39). In fact, while this section is useful for his analysis of inter- and intra-civilization relations broadly, his descriptions of Muslim/Middle-? astern civilization would fit remarkably well with literature on modernization from 1950s. One wonders if, in his desire to provide students with an introduction to the best books, some of them quite old, which your professors...may not (p. 14), Codevilla failed to realize that there may be a sound reason instructors no longer assign some of these books in their entirety. …" @default.
