Επιμνημόσυνο αφιέρωμα στον Καθηγητή δρ Kenneth Neal Waltz

Ο Μέγιστος θεωρητικός των σύγχρονων διεθνών σχέσεων, Καθηγητής δρ Kenneth Neal Waltz, ο οποίος τίμησε όσο κανείς άλλος και ανέδειξε τη διανόηση του πρώτου διεθνολόγου Θουκυδίδη, κοιμήθηκε στις 13 Μαΐου 2013. Ο Θεός να αναπαύει τη ψυχή του και να συνεχίζει να αποτελεί πρότυπο ερευνητή στις πολιτικές επιστήμες, ακαδημαΐκού διδασκάλου και ανθρώπου!

The Great theorist of modern international relations, Professor Dr. Kenneth Neal Waltz, who was honored as noone else and highlighted the intellect of the first International Relations sofist, i.e. Thucydides, died on 13 May 2013.

God rests his soul and fingers crossed to continue being a paradigm of researcher in political science, academic teacher and human being!

Kenneth Waltz and His Legacy The Man and The State of War

Robert Art and Robert Jervis May 22, 2013

Article Summary and Author Biography In his scholarship, Waltz asked the tough questions about the difficult and important issues. He was motivated by both theoretical and policy questions, the latter often setting the agenda for the former. He was intellectually courageous, usually staking out iconoclastic positions -- some of which were initially derided, many of which ended up becoming mainstream thinking. No matter what one’s theoretical persuasion, he was an intellectual force that had to be reckoned with.

ROBERT ART is Christian A. Herter Professor of International Relations at Brandeis University and Fellow at MIT Center for International Studies.

ROBERT JERVIS is Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics at Columbia University and a member of the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies.

Ken was the leading realist theorist of his generation, and arguably the leading international politics theorist of the last half century. His first publication, Man, the State, and War, came out in 1959 and remains in print today;
