Robert Keohane

Robert Owen Keohane ( born October 3, 1941 in Chicago, Illinois, USA) is an American political scientist and professor of " International Affairs" of the Woodrow Wilson School of Princeton University. Keohane is one of the most important representatives of contemporary theory of international relations.

Together with his friend and colleague Joseph S. Nye, he developed, in the common written book " Power and Interdependence: World Politics in Transition" its interdependence / regime theory. For his work, "After Hegemony: Cooperation and Discord in the World Political Economy " ( Princeton, 1984), he received the 1989 Grawemeyer Award, which him for his service to the improvement and expansion of understanding of International Relations ( Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order) distinguished.

Life

After graduating from high school Keohane was not initially clear about which career direction to take. In the end he opted for the study of political science, more precisely of International Relations, which is not least due to the strong educational influence of his parents. Own account, he is a theorist to study which it is not but came at the beginning of his studies in the sense of political theory because he lacked the practical relevance.

So it was that he was already at the age of only 16 years, the Shimer College ( Mount Carroll, Illinois) visited, where his father worked as a social scientist. Three years later he was graduated with the highest possible honors ( BA " with great distinction", equivalent to " summa cum laude "). Immediately after that he went to Harvard to continue his studies, where he in 1964 and a Master of Arts in 1966, aged 25 years, also with honors, received his doctorate. Currently Keohane Nannerl lives with his wife, also a political scientist, in Princeton and worked at the Princeton University (New Jersey, USA). He has four grown children and seven grandchildren.

Keohane was the owner of various assistants and professors, including at Swarthmore College ( Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, 1965-1973 ), Stanford University (Stanford, California, 1973-1981 ), Brandeis University ( Waltham, Massachusetts, 1981-1985), Harvard University ( Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1985-1996 ) and Duke University (Durham, North Carolina). In 2006, he took over a professorship at Princeton University.
