Owens Teaching Award in 2001, and Penn's Lindback Award for excellence in teaching in 1996. Deudney's book, ''Bounding Power: Republican Security Theory from the Polis to the Global Village'', is revolutionary in its field, as he seeks to carry out a profound critique of realism in international relations, realism and liberal international relations theory, liberalism. He argues that realism and liberalism are both fragments of a broader tradition of republican thought. In contrast to either realism or liberalism, republican political thought is focused on negotiating the space between anarchy in international relations, anarchy and hierarchy. The book was reviewed in March/April 2007 issue of ''Foreign Affairs''. It received the 2008 Robert Jervis and Paul Schroeder Award for the Best Book on International History and Politics, International History and Politics Section, American Political Science Association, and the 2010 ISA Book of the Decade Award in International Studies, International Studies Association]
Bounding Power
Overall, Deudney remains a liberal theorist, describing liberalism as "not the enemy of republican security theory, but its privileged... child". He believes the liberal democratic model will prevail in the world, and without believing in the triumphalism of Francis Fukuyama's thesis, he paraphrases him: "Liberal states should not assume that history has ended, but they can still be certain that it is on their side."''The Myth of the Autocratic Revival: Why Liberal Democracy Will Prevail''.
