ISA mourns the recent passing of past-president James Rosenau. Dr. Rosenau was University Professor of International Affairs at the George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs and he served as President of ISA from 1984-1985. The following was contributed by his colleague James Mittleman:
Jim Rosenau shaped the ideas of generations of students, some of them now top policymakers. A superstar in the field of international relations, he explained the complexity of global order. His landmark books show what makes a world of globalization hang together and how it is rapidly changing.
With great clarity and sensitivity for historical change, James Rosenau piloted the journey from international to globalization studies. This lens focuses on truly global issues: environment, crime, migration, and security. Deeply committed to democratic values, Rosenau’s top priority was teaching. He radiated a love of learning. His enthusiasm rippled through the classroom and his writings. Family, friends, and students alike salute this pillar of the knowledge community.
