Preface
International relations would be a very different discipline today were it not for the contributions of Robert O. Keohane. The citation trail alone, which passes through countless and books and articles, tracks his influence. Equally important is Bobs personal imprint: his strong mentoring of graduate students at Stanford, Brandeis, Harvard, Duke, and now Princeton, many of whom have become successful academics.
On February 1819, 2005, a group of those students came together at Princeton University to celebrate Bobs career. The large size and broad diversity of the group testify both to his tremendous energy and influence and to his determination to broaden access to the senior ranks of the profession. Not all of his former students could make it to Princeton, and not all could be represented in this volume, but we know that all share our deep appreciation and respect for Bob and his research.
The Princeton meeting explored the evolution of Keohanes research agenda in recent years. The authors in this volume, who presented papers at the meeting, and others whose work is not represented, had a chance to thank him for the support and intellectual guidance he has given us over these many years. As academics, our appreciation is most durably expressed by using his ideas to stimulate wide-ranging research and by emulating his passion for teaching. But the existence of this volume provides a specific, concrete tribute in appreciation for his lasting impact on our careers.
A great scholar sets an intellectual agenda that grows and develops in anticipated and unanticipated directions, motivating other scholars to do their best work both in furthering the animating ideas and in pushing against them. The institutionalist research program that Bob helped create has had an enormous influence in international relations. The chapters here testify to that impact. Bob has fostered an inquisitive yet rigorous research style among his students. His openness to new ideas, combined with his interest in research design, has produced novel research across a diverse set of important topics. He has trained students who agree and disagree with him. Thus the work in this volume illustrates both the strengths and weaknesses of the research program he helped found.
A great mentor guides and pushes his students at the start of their careers and then supports them wherever their paths may lead. Bob has done both. We intend this volume to celebrate his long and distinguished career and hope that it helps advance in some small way the many ideas and themes he continues to pursue.
