This book is the product of a series of roundtable discussions conducted under the auspices of the Annual Meetings of the International Studies Association. At both the 1991 Meetings in Vancouver and the 1992 Meetings in Atlanta we were extremely gratified by the response to our roundtables on Teaching World Politics in the 1990s. We gauged the exchanges a success, not only because of the large number of colleagues from North America, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa who contributed to the spirited discussions, but also because of the encouragement we received, calling on us to keep the discussion on pedagogy at the forefront of our collective reflections. This collection is but the first fruit of our efforts.
We gratefully acknowledge the enthusiasm demonstrated by Jennifer Knerr, Senior Acquisitions Editor of Westview Press. Her continuing support for this enterprise has helped immeasurably.
Finally, we wish to acknowledge the financial support provided by Wilfrid Laurier University's Book Preparation Grants Program.
