Robert A. Dahl, Editor. EXCERPT: ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: I am grateful to all the contributors to this volume who have so graciously allowed me to reprint their work. I am especially indebted to J. David Singer and Ole R. Holsti who have made new or revised manuscripts available, to Morton A. Kaplan and Anatol Rapoport who have helped me with copyright problems, and to Karl W. Deutsch who has advised and generally encouraged me. The readings in this book complement Professor Deutsch's illuminating discussion in The Analysis of International Relations (Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1968), but the collection as a whole is intended as a self-sufficient introduction to the contemporary study of international relations.
