IR Theory & Practice

Making Connections Between the Classroom and the Real World

Sidebar

About this Blog:

My name is James Devine. I am an Associate Professor at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick Canada, where I teach international politics. My research focuses on the politics of the Middle East, and the domestic politics and foreign policy of Iran in particular. This blog is intended primarily for my students, though all are welcome. Its purpose is to make the connection between the theories and concepts discussed in class, and current events in the real world.
