In the Shadow of Power by Robert Powell
Argues for the usefulness of formal models in studying international conflict and for the necessity of greater dialogue between modeling and empirical analysis. This book focuses on the insights and intuitions that emerge during modeling, rather than on technical analysis.
Winner of the 2000 Conflict Processes Book Award, American Political Science Association Winner of the 2000 Best Book Award, Political Economy Section of the American Political Science Association One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2000 "Robert Powell enjoys a deserved reputation as the premier formal modeler in the field of international security studiesThis book can only enhance that reputation... The book is extremely valuable for the coherence it imposes on previously unintegrated processes."--Glenn Snyder, Political Science Quarterly "A welcome attempt to make the modeling enterprise accessible and understandable to nonpractitioners. Along the way it makes a concise and coherent case for why modeling can increase our understanding of international relations."--Colin Elman, Journal of Cold War Studies
