ABSTRACT
The nuclear age that emerged from secrecy in the late summer of 1945 transformed the nature of world politics. “The Science of International Politics” represented an attempt to apply a more systematic method of understanding to this science. The eclectic school combined all kinds of disparate fields, apparently from agriculture to zoology, “seeing in the qualifying adjective ‘international’ the common denominator with which to transform this mass of unconnected material into one field of international relations.” C. A. W. Manning and Geoffrey Goodwin of the London School of Economics and Political Science renewed a practice going back to the 1920s in meeting with other International Relations scholars in various parts of the world. Texts were designed for courses in departments of political sciences where economics was regarded as belonging elsewhere.
