International Security @ 50
In the summer of 1976, after I had just completed my first year of graduate school at Cornell University, I received the first issue of a brand new journal called International Security. Volume 1, Number 1. Of course, it quickly became the leading scholarly journal dealing with security affairs as well as one of the elite journals in the broader field of international relations. I never imagined at the time that there would be a 50th anniversary issue, much less that I would write an article for that distant issue. But here we are, 50 years later.
