Nice List — 5 years ago

Was curious to know what people who read my list read, and so ended up here. Your list is nice, weighty and scary! Can’t get too afraid though… first two books are by “Joe Nye the political science guy?” How scary can it be. :)

The Sterba book looks very interesting, esp in light of the recent Guantanamo rulings.

Here’s mentioning a couple other items you might be interested in (if you haven’t read em already):

“Poverty Amidst Plenty” edited by a prof named Weisband is supposedly “the” textbook of Political Economics of the 80’s and 90’s. 9-11 sort of diverted attention from this subject, which is too bad.

“Political Theory and International Relations” by Charles Beitz is my favorite. Applies Hobsian and Rawlsian tests to a lot of interesting questions… “national rights to self determination” and “just war theories” to name a few.

Pretty wonky stuff, but I think it might fit in with your reading.
