Ideas And Ideals: Essays On Politics In Honor Of Stanley Hoffmann

Stanley Hoffman is a scholar of international relations and French politics who has inspired former students to explore the links between domestic society and foreign policy, and between theory and practice. This collection of essays encapsulates the essence of the thought of Hoffman's generation, as well as providing a record of intellectual achievement from the origins of World War II to the turbulent aftermath of the Cold War. Included are two autobiographical chapters by Hoffman himself in which he traces his personal odyssey from France to America. The book also contains a contribution from the late Judity Shklar summing up her generation's influence on contemporary political science.
