Foreign Policy: Inside the Ivory Tower

Blogger's giving me some issues grabbing an excerpt, but this is a nice short blurb surveying international relations education at the undergraduate level. Nothing really earth shattering turns up, but definitely an interesting read to see the tools that are at work shaping tomorrow's policy makers. Link via the title.

Definitely lines up with the (relatively weak) department I see here at school, although one of my favorite profs is apparently quite a rarity--an expert in East Asia. Of course, the strong political economy background for IR departments definitely holds up here....as do the dominance of certain grad schools.
