There is a widening divide between the data, tools, and knowledge that international relations scholars produce and what policy practitioners find relevant for their work. In this first-of-its kind conversation, leading academics and veteran practitioners reflect on the nature and size of the theory-practice divide. They find that the gap varies by issue area and over time.The essays in this volume use systematic data gathered by the Teaching, Research, and International Policy (TRIP) Project over a fifteen-year period. As a whole, the volume analyzes the structural factors that affect the academy's ability to influence policy across issue areas and the professional incentives that affect scholars' willingness to attempt to do so. Individual chapters explore these questions in the issue areas of trade, finance, human rights, development, environment, nuclear weapons and strategy, interstate war, and intrastate conflict. Each substantive chapter is followed by a response from a policy practitioner, providing their perspective on the gap and the possibility for academic work to have an impact. Bridging the Theory-Practice Divide in International Relations provides concrete answers and guidance about how and when scholarship can be policy relevant.…

How and when can international relations (IR) scholars influence policymakers and policy? Beyond the Influence Gap offers unique answers to these vexing questions. The structure of this book is designed to foster both introspection and conversation across the academic-policy divide. The scholars in this volume reflect on what research can offer to policy in eight distinct IR subfields—human rights, the environment, foreign aid and development, trade, finance and money, interstate conflict, intrastate conflict, and nuclear weapons and strategy. Each scholars' chapter is followed by a response from a policy practitioner about the nature and size of the gap and their impressions of scholarly impact. This book is also unique because it seeks to move the conversation beyond anecdotal evidence about the gap and questions of incentives and methods within the academy. The academic contributors to this volume use data gathered over a fifteen-year period by the Teaching, Research & International Policy Project about the perceptions and attempts of IR professors to offer policy-relevant scholarship. The book finds that the gap is not insurmountable and that certain issue areas are more open to scholars' input than others.
