Although foreign policy analysis (FPA) has long been a major subfield within the subject area of international relations, it has received relatively little coverage in the literature in the past couple of decades. Author Carlsnaes proposes to produce a monograph as a key part of a project aimed at reviving interest in FPA, especially as it relates to the broader concerns of international relations, and providing an overview of the current state of this subfield. Toward the latter end, he seeks to provide a historical context by reviewing developments in IR from its establishment in the U.S. after World War II to the end of the millennium, as well as analyzing factors contributing to its decline in the 1980s and early 1990s. He also plans to discuss the current domain of FPA as well as key perspectives and concepts relevant to the field. Adapted from the source document.

The procedural aspects surrounding the currently suspended process of selection for the Position "Lars Hierta's" Professor in Political Sciences is reviewed. In a highly unusual manner according to the author, the Board of Educators proposed him over the Experts' Opinion to the position, which he declined. Then it was offered to Tommy Moller, who accepted & had a salary discussion with the Dean. However the Rector stopped the process. The author analyzes also seemingly subjective judgments by the "Experts" while evaluating the applicants' merits. A. Barral
