Review:
--Jack Snyder, Chair, Political Science Department, and Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Relations, Columbia University
" Unlike most attempts to build bridges across the chasms that divide academic disciplines, "Bridges and Boundaries" succeeds spectacularly in spanning the gap. The Elmans have collected a high-quality group of contributors, leaders in their own disciplines of history and political science, yet experienced bridge-crossers. Their penetrating essays, including paired treatments of international historical issues by scholars from both fields, are especially good at identifying what the real boundaries between the disciplines are, why they exist, and how these complementary differences can make intellectual exchange across the boundaries so profitable. This is simply the best volume on the topic, including the Elmans' highly acclaimed special issue of "International Security," which this collection builds upon and surpasses." --Jack Snyder, Chair, Political Science Department, and Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Relations, Columbia University
