Bu haqda ko'p narsa bilmayman, lekin, eng oldin Constitutional Law bo'yicha birorta classic asarni o'qip ko'rsez bo'ladi. Chunki, constitional law ni bir vazifalaridan biri Jamiyat va davlatning qanday prinsiplar asosida ishlashini va bu prinsiplarning mazmun va mohiyatini tushuntirip beradi.
( Demak, nimaga separation of powers bo'lganini, va shu turli powerlar o'rtasidagi munosabatlarni ham tushuntirib beradi)
Qo'shimcha malumot boyicha, menimcha, political philosophy dan ham biroz o'qisez ham bo'ladi. Chunki, Political science va law ko'pincha qoidalarni tusuntirip bersa, philosophy ushbu qoidalarning mohiyatini tusuntirip beradi.
Masalan, John Rawls'ning Theory of Justice kitobi ham juda qiziqarli, jamiyatni huzurga erishishi uchun lozim bol'gan prinsiplar haqida so'z ketadi.
Rousseau'ning Social Contract'ini ham o'qisez bo'ladi.
Lekin, Rousseau va boshqa o'tgan asrlarda o'tgan faylasuflarning asarlarining zamonaviy talqinini Habermasdan ham topsez bo'ladi.

PS. o'zim o'qimadim, lekin, Carl Schmitt'ning Theory of Constitution kitobini o'qip ko'ring. Shu kitob haqida, Yevropa political science'ida yozilgan so'nggi buyuk asarlardan biri degan remarklarni o'qip qolgandim. O'zim ham juda qiziqip turippan.

http://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/ - French edition

http://mondediplo.com/ - english edition

The monthly publication Le Monde diplomatique (nicknamed "Le Diplo" by its French readers) offers well-documented analysis and opinion on politics, culture, and current affairs. Its articles are long, well-researched, scholarly, and opinionated. In particular, the newspaper takes a critical view on the effects of economic neoliberalism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism) on the world and its population. Its editorial line is decidedly altermondialist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altermondialism) and left-wing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing). Through the last fifty years during the cold war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_war), it had also a neutralist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralist) viewpoint, often critical of US foreign policy.

The New York Review of Books (or NYREV) is a biweekly magazine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magazine) on literature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature), culture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture), and current affairs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_affairs) published in New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City) which takes as its point of departure that the discussion of important books (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_review) is itself an indispensable literary activity. As of 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_of_2003), the publication has a circulation of over 125,000.


2. London review of books
http://www.lrb.co.uk/

The London Review of Books (or LRB) is a twice-monthly British (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain) literary magazine.
The London Review was founded in 1979 by former editors of the Times Literary Supplement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Literary_Supplement), during the year-long lock-out at The Times. For its first six months, it appeared as an insert in the New York Review of Books (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Review_of_Books). In May 1980, the London Review became an independent publication with a distinctly radical editorial orientation.

Founded in 1970 by Samuel Huntington and Warren Demian Manshel, and now published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/redirect/316.php) in Washington, D.C., FOREIGN POLICY is the premier, award-winning magazine of global politics, economics, and ideas. Our mission is to explain how the world works—in particular, how the process of global integration is reshaping nations, institutions, cultures, and, more fundamentally, our daily lives.


“FP covers a staggering variety of complicated but vital issues [and] offers
original takes on topics prescient to the offbeat.”
—2001 Folio Editorial Excellence Award citation

Equal parts scout and translator, we draw on the world’s leading journalists, thinkers, and professionals to analyze the most significant international trends and events of our times, without regard to ideology or political bias. Whether dissecting George W. Bush’s national security strategy, hunting for the real identity of the “international community,” or investigating the rise of Japanese pop culture, we strive to combine original thinking with real-world examples of ideas in action.

It is published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_Endowment_for_International_Peace) in Washington, D.C. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington%2C_D.C.) Its topics include global politics, economics, integration and ideas. It targets a non-specialized audience, and has a readership of 10 million throughout 90 countries.

This archive is an attempt to collect in one place a large number of significant texts in the history of economic thought. I have tried to cast my nets as wide as possible including representative texts of all of the major thinkers and schools of thought; and most of the sub-fields of economics. The archive is a work in progress that may never be completed. The field of economic thought is a very large one. The texts are posted primarily for the use of students who might not otherwise have access to these writings. They are to be used strictly for non-commercial educational purposes.

Revue Permanente de Philosophie Politique


Les questions abordées ici renvoient à des enjeux politiques majeurs. Sur ces questions, la philosophie politique peut apporter un éclairage conceptuel décisif. Mais la philosophie ne prétend pas avoir le dernier mot et l’un des objectifs de cette Revue permanente de philosophie politique est de favoriser le débat d’idées en faisant collaborer des disciplines qui n'ont pas forcément l'habitude de se rencontrer : philosophie politique, histoire, sociologie, économie, droit, psychologie.

Axess Magazine (http://www.axess.se/english/)
Axess is a magazine, based in Stockholm, devoted chiefly to the liberal arts and social sciences. The magazine strives, above all, for quality of thought and writing, but without being defined by a single political position. The hallmark of Axess is the essay; characterised by a probing, investigative approach. The magazine is open to differing arguments and standpoints, driven by reason rather than polemic.

Axess aims to unite academic culture and publishing culture to create a forum in which researchers in the humanities and liberal arts can meet a wider public. Through this English-language online edition, the magazine also wants to forge relationships between researchers in and outside of Sweden.

In its themed sections, Axess allows different academic disciplines to spotlight central issues from various perspectives. Diverse viewpoints are illuminated and juxtaposed. Axess begins where discussions in most other media generally end and scrutinises them analytically and empirically. Axess also attaches great importance to the international range of its writers, including an extensive review section to cover the most important new books being published worldwide.

The Dictionary of the History of Ideas (http://etext.virginia.edu/DicHist/dict.html)

The Dictionary of the History of Ideas: Studies of Selected Pivotal Ideas, edited by Philip P. Wiener, was published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, in 1973-74. The Dictionary of the History of Ideas also appeared in Chinese- and Japanese-language editions.

However, the DHI has been out of print for many years. Aware of the new potential offered by electronic access to texts, the Directors and Board of Editors of the Journal of the History of Ideas authorized a grant to support digitization of the DHI. Substantial support has also been provided by the University of Virginia Library through its Electronic Text Center. The project has been undertaken with the permission of Charles Scribner's Sons and of The Gale Group, of which Scribner's is a part.

The paper editions of the Dictionary of the History of Ideas included many illustrations. Because of copyright restrictions, these are not included in this electronic edition. However, the Dictionary of the History of Ideas can be found in many libraries, and used copies can sometimes be obtained through www.bookfinder.com and other bookseller sites.

We invite those whose curiosity is stimulated by the Dictionary of the History of Ideas to investigate the Library of the History of Ideas (University of Rochester Press), which is made up of topical volumes containing articles previously published in the Journal of the History of Ideas; or to browse in the JHI itself.

The successor to the Dictionary of the History of Ideas, the New Dictionary of the History of Ideas, is edited by Maryanne Cline Horowitz and published by Charles Scribner's Sons, an imprint of Thomson Gale. It became available in late 2004 in a six-volume hardcover set (ISBN: 0-684-31377-4) and in e-book format (ISBN: 0-684-31452-5).

The New Dictionary of the History of Ideas is a totally updated and rethought work that strives to be global and gender-inclusive. At the January 2005 meeting of the American Library Association, the Reference User Services Association judged the NDHI an “Outstanding Reference Work

after september 11 archive (http://www.ssrc.org/sept11/essays/)



In the days following September 11, the SSRC asked social scientists from around the world to contribute essays to a website called "After September 11." Although they were written under quick deadlines, we believe these web-essays still hold remarkable value for the insights they provide on September 11 and its aftermath, especially in the days and weeks immediately following. While the information and analyses contained within the essays may now be dated, we believe it is still worthwhile to make them available in an archive. The reader is advised that information contained in the essays should be checked against contemporary sources for accuracy. Updated versions of many of the essays are available in two volumes published by The New Press September 1, 2002. Please click here for more information on the books and on how to order them online.
The Council will continue this website later in the year with essays on a number of contemporary conflicts.

The editors have added hyperlinks in the right-hand margin of essays. We have chosen what we hope are useful additional resources to the concepts discussed by the authors.

All IR and IL scholars' first advise to new students is to read much on history.
Here a link to the works of George Sarton on the history of science - one of the most famous works of its field:
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=george%20sarton

George Sarton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Photo of George Sarton
Photo of George Sarton

George Alfred Leon Sarton (1884-1956) was a Belgian-American polymath, historian of science, and father of the writer, May Sarton. He wrote the seminal classic works, History of Science, The Study of the History of Science, and a two volume (of a projected nine volume) introduction to the history of science.

Sarton was convinced that the study of the history of science was the only truly progressive history.

"Whatever material and intellectual progress there is can be traced back in each case to the discovery of some new secret of nature or to a deeper understanding of an old one."[1]

He received his PhD in mathematics at the Univeristy of Ghent in 1911. Though he emigrated to England after the Great War broke out, it was really just a temporary home until he emigrated to the United States in 1915, where he would live for the rest of his life. He became a lecturer at Harvard University in 1920 and a professor of the history of science from 1940-1951.

Sarton intended to complete an exhaustive nine volume history of science—which, during the preparation of the second volume, induced him to learn Arabic and travel around the Middle East inspecting original manuscripts—but at the time of his death only the first two volumes had been completed.

He is credited with launching the formal study of the history of science in the United States as well as with founding the most noted academic journal in the subject, Isis.

In honor of Sarton's achievements, the History of Science Society created the award known as the George Sarton Medal. It is the most prestigious award of the History of Science Society. It has been awarded annually since 1955 to an outstanding historian of science selected from the international scholarly community. The medal honors a scholar for lifetime scholarly achievement.

Politics, Democracy and Philosophy: An Obscure Knot
A lecture in conjunction with the UW workshop, “Is a History of the Cultural Revolution Possible?”

Alain Badiou is a poet, playwright, critic, screenwriter, aesthetician, and political activist; he is also among the most innovating philosophers of our time. Born in Rabat, Morocco in 1937, he has taught at the University of Paris VIII (Vincennes-Saint Denis) and the Йcole Normale Supйrieure. Known for his re-thinking of core ideas in European philosophy such as event, aesthetics, love and truth, Badiou was trained as a mathematician before engaging philosophy as such. Badiou’s partition of scholarship into four fields—politics, science, art, and love—and his inventive writing on thinkers ranging from Plato, St. Paul, and Samuel Beckett to Mao Zedong, Jacques Lacan, and Heidegger offers a demonstration of philosophy’s powers and its importance. Among Badiou’s recently published works in English translation are Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism (2003), Handbook of Inaesthetics (2004), Think Again: Alain Badiou and the Future of Philosophy (2005), and Alain Badiou and Cultural Revolution, a special issue of the journal positions: east asia cultures critique (2005).

If you're not attracted to a field enough to read beyond the requirements, just to read more because you're curious and you want to know more than is required at any given course -- if that's not the case, then you're in the wrong field.


There are two kinds of political theorists, really. One is a political theorist who writes about other people's political theories. And that, of course, in the traditional political theory field, is what is done mostly. It's a reconsideration of Hobbes on this point, or Locke on that point.
The other thing, if one wants to try to develop theory or promote its development, is to think about ways of doing that. [My] first book was really a sorting out book, and the second book was an attempt to develop a theory of international politics in a sense in which it had not been developed before.

if one wants to develop theory, the direct route is to read a good deal of philosophy of science and take courses. Good courses are available in the philosophy of science. The first requirement, if you're going to work on a theory or the improvement of somebody else's theory, is to figure out what a "theory" is, which very few people seem to do. I've spent a lot of time reading the philosophy of science, because it's a very difficult question: What is a theory? What can it do? What can it not do? How do you test its validity or seeming validity? It's a profound and difficult subject in its own right. It also is a field in which there is great literature, and it was a pleasure for me to read in the philosophy of science, and not to have to read a lot more political science.


So what does a theory do?
First, in order to have a theory, you'll have to have a subject matter, because you can't have a theory about everything. There's no such thing as a theory about everything. So you'll have to say, " I'm going to try to develop a theory of, in this case, international politics." The first question is, how can you think of international politics as a domain in its own right, as something that you could possibly have a theory about?
And how do you decide that you can do that?
You will have to figure out a way of defining it as an autonomous field of study. The closest comparison is the development of economic theory, where, before the physiocrats (that is, before roughly 1760), economists wrote about all kinds of things, and mostly at the level of bookkeeping, of what we might now call accounting -- family and business accounts, that sort of thing. It was only with the physiocrats, who greatly influenced Adam Smith, that the concept of an economy as something that could be studied in its own right developed. Once that concept existed, then it became at least possible to have a theory about how national economies work: what regularities appear, what repetitions occur, how you can think of it as a self-sustaining enterprise. The breakthrough is the physiocrats, and then the great follow-through was Adam Smith.
So if you're going to do theory of international politics, then at one level you probably have to be grounded in the history of the domain, so to speak.
I don't see how you can do it without knowing a good deal of history. But the main thing is to have a conception of international politics as something that can be studied in its own right. It's something that, for example, two major figures in the field -- Hans Morgenthau and Raymond Aron, a Frenchman -- thought was impossible. How can you isolate international politics even for the purpose of study from everything else that goes on? Their answer was, you can't. In that case, it's not possible to develop a theory of international politics. International politics is something that's influenced by everything else -- a national economy, national politics, international politics -- and it's all interrelated, there's no way of separating it. So the first requirement was to develop an idea of the structure of international politics, which would make it possible to think of international politics as a subject matter that could be studied in its own right. That's what I did in The Theory of International Politics.
Now, how does one then evaluate a theory? Is "usefulness" a good way to evaluate a theory? How do you know when a theory is useful?
Whether or not a theory is useful is decided by the body of people who find it worthwhile to use the theory or to argue about the theory. As Steve Weinberg, who's a Nobel Laureate in Physics and a very reflective physicist, has said, ultimately, the test of a theory is that people (meaning the people in the field) find it worth dealing with, arguing about, criticizing, trying to apply.
And the purpose of a theory is to explain what's going on -- how the order hangs together. Clarify that for us.
What a theory does is present a mental picture of a part of the world, and in that picture are identified the major causal factors at work. The theory specifies the relations among those, and the necessary relations as they're necessary within the terms of their theory, among those major causal forces, which we often now refer to as variables, (adapting a scientific terminology that's not always useful). That's a simple way of putting it.
Yes.
Then you can compare that picture and the supposed causal forces at work with the real world. That's always a problematic exercise, because theory is very simple. What theories do is leave most everything out. You're simplifying, you're looking for what is salient, what are those central propelling forces. Obviously, they're not the only forces at work, so you've got that problem that natural scientists have, too; but they can usually, or often, control for perturbations that come in from outside the system. Whereas in politics, in international politics in particular, you can't. So it makes for endless argument and a lot of fun.
The theory has an economy about it, because at one level you can say, "Well, there's so much going on in the world, let's put it all into theory." But that's not the game here. In other words, there's not a one-to-one relationship, this not an effort to replicate everything that's going on.
If it were, then the ideal theory would be identical with the real world, right? And, instead, theory is a simple instrument which you hope to be able to use in order to understand and explain the real world. The emphasis is on explanation, not on prediction. Prediction is nice. If you can predict, fine. But the key requirement: if a theory is not able to explain what's going on, then it's not theory, or it's a worthless theory. It's not a theory at all.

What are the skills required to study international relations?
To be an academic in international relations?
Yes, that's right.
That's a very good question. If we knew the answers to this, we would be able to select our Ph.D. students with a lot more intelligence. Political science, and even to some extent international relations, is not a unified discipline. Certainly it's possible to do international relations, and do very good work, working with existing datasets and testing existing propositions.
Looking at my colleagues who have been the most successful -- first of all, the ones that I know well had a passion for what they were doing, they really cared about it. They cared about issues as matters of policy and they also had strong ethical concerns. International relations has not just been an intellectual exercise for them. That's the first thing.
The second thing, and this is not a very helpful answer, but you need to pick out a problem that's important, first of all, and then to find a way of reaching an effective articulation between the problem that you're dealing with, the theoretical or causal arguments available, and the empirical data that you can work with. And that is very hard, because the problems do not always present themselves in a way in which that can be readily tested by alternative causal arguments. So working back and forth between theoretical propositions and empirical data is a real challenge in a discipline like international relations, where it's quite open-ended, where information is imperfect, where you don't necessarily get a lot of repetition, where you don't necessarily have large datasets that will help you for a lot of the things that you're interested in studying.

What are you talking about?

[Iqbol]

Studiosus, Masanori and those interested.

What do you think about this statement of John Mearsheimer?

Well, I've given a lot of thought to this question; it's a fascinating issue. I think by and large, theorists, IR theorists, are born, not created. I think you either have an instinct for creating theories or you don't. It's very had to take people who don't have those proclivities and to turn them into a theorist.

[Iqbol]

I think to be a theorist, you have to be creative, you have to be willing to invent new ideas, number one. Two, you have to be willing to make arguments that are likely to be controversial, and, therefore, cause all sorts of people to come after you hammer and tong. And, number three, I think you have to know a lot of history to be an IR theorist of some consequence. You have to have thought long and hard about how the world works, because what you're doing is trying to come up with an explanation that can account for a large part of international politics. If you haven't thought long and hard about how the world actually works, it's hard to imagine how you could come up with a theory that could explain the world. So I think these different characteristics are essential for someone who wants to be an IR theorist. And the first two are, I think, not learned. They're born into you, they're hardwired into you at birth. The third you can learn.
