Peter J. Katzenstein, the current Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies at Cornell University, is one of the principal creators of the field of international and comparative political economy.
Between 1975 and 1985 he showed how domestic political structure, shaped by history, affects state policies in response to economic interdependence. During the next decade, he wrote innovative comparative studies of how Germany and Japan responded to the legacies of defeat in the context of globalization. Subsequently, he became a major proponent of the role of norms and cultural variation in world politics, linking structure with culture in his analysis of international security. Most recently, he has published a major work on regionalism and co-organized the first scholarly, social scientific book on anti-Americanism.
He was the winner of the Helen Dwight Reid Award from the American Political Science Association (1974), the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Book Award (1986), and was a Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow at Cornell University (2004). In 2020 he received the Johan Skytte Prize in Political Science, widely considered the most prestigious international award in the discipline. His works include: Between Power and Plenty: Foreign Economic Policies of Advanced Industrial States, 1978; Corporatism and Change: Austria, Switzerland and the Politics of Industry, 1984; Small States in World Markets: Industrial Policy in Europe, 1985; Policy and Politics in West Germany: The Growth of a Semi-sovereign State, 1987; The Culture of National Security: Norms and Identity in World Politics, 1996; A World of Regions: Asia and Europe in the American Imperium, 2005; Rethinking Japanese Security: Internal and External Dimensions, 2008. He has been a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences since 1987 and was elected president of the American Political Science Association for the 2008-2009 term. | |
