Louis J. Halle, The making of foreign policy in a democracy, 1990, Accession #10603-j, Special Collections, University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
This item was given to the Library by Louis Halle of Geneva, Switzerland, on January 10, 1991.
Louis Joseph Halle (1910- ), is a political scientist, editor, and professor of foreign affairs and international relations.
This addition to the Louis Halle Papers consists of a sixteen page typescript of his lecture entitled "The Making of Foreign Policy in a Democracy," given at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland, in honor of his eightieth birthday, on November 26, 1990.
He stresses the importance of an institution like the Graduate Institute of International Studies because "universities should be teaching international politics in terms of the historical, rather than the journalistic perspective - in terms of the permanent factors rather than the transient and chaotic day-to-day factors." He further indicates that the failure to do this in our universities has led to the failure of much of twentieth century American foreign policy.
