Survey of the IR discipline:
Interesting highlights include Top problems for American Foreign Policy: #1 the rise of China.
AM: I doubt that all the respondents see this as a bad thing, likely, the term "important development" is more accurate.
Most respondents answered that the Arab Spring will be good for the United States. Most approved of the military intervention in Libya, but oppose further interventions in other countries. Almost no one thinks that war with China is likely.
The survey also looks at the political leanings of IR theorists and practicioners. They are overwhelmingly "liberal" on both social and economic issues. This comes through in their judgemnts about presidental candidates: GW Bush gets a bad rating, Obama a pretty good one. Of ocouse, that really depends if you're a lib or conservative.
PP readers? What is the most important issue facing American foreign policy in the future? Is war with China likely?
