I prefer the Da Vinci Code.

I study IR, and while I've heard of Ikenberry, I've never heard of "After Victory" nor had it recommended to me or seen it on a syllabus... Perhaps it's me, perhaps it's your nomination, who knows... snark snark...

I suggest we stipulate that every suggested book for this or any other prize will be subjected to a snarky post of the form of #3 and accomplish little. Here's a productive thought, just send your nominations to the appropriate committee for its consideration and review.

Deudney's book is a great book, but I'm not sure about it's impact. Most people (including myself) aren't broadly trained enough to know what the hell he's talking about half the time.

^^^ I always finding it interesting and a little odd that for a profession that entails disseminating knowledge, we usually bash books that are read by the general public -- regardless of whether they are actually good or not.

^ Sorry.. I was referring to the "World is Flat" comment.

Mearsheimer rocks. No matter what one says about his 2001 book, everyone reads it.

Doesn't mean it's worth its weight.

To the person suggesting Russett/Keohane/Katzenstein, uh, this is for a book published in this most recent decade, not the 1980s.
How about Stathis Kalyvas's book? Does that qualify as international studies?

Mearsheimer rocks at what, being wrong? I don't understand how the bar is so low for realism.
