Hans Morgenthau
Hans Joachim Morgenthau (February 17, 1904 – July 19, 1980) was a German-American jurist and political scientist who was one of the major 20th-century figures in the study of international relations. Morgenthau's works belong to the tradition of realism in international relations theory; he is usually considered among the most influential realists of the post-World War II period.

His ''Politics Among Nations'', first published in 1948, went through five editions during his lifetime and was widely adopted as a textbook in U.S. universities.

In addition to his books, Morgenthau wrote widely about inte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Davos University Conferences
The Davos University Conferences (french: Cours universitaires de Davos; german: Davoser Hochschulkurse) were a project between 1928 and 1931 to create an international university at Davos in Switzerland.

International initiative The Davos project coincided with warming international relations, particularly between France and the Weimar Republic (Germany) after the Locarno Pact of 1925. The French intelligentsia wholeheartedly participated in projects of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, but the Germans, who were exclude ...
