William Wohlforth

[1] He is linked to the Neoclassical realism school[2][3] and known for his work on American unipolarity.

[4] Wohlforth received his bachelor's degree in International Relations (summa cum laude) from Beloit College.

He is the author of Elusive Balance: Power and Perceptions during the Cold War (Cornell, 1993) and editor of Witnesses to the End of the Cold War (Johns Hopkins, 1996) and Cold War Endgame: Oral History, Analysis, and Debates (Penn State, 2003).

Wohlforth's 1999 article "The Stability of a Unipolar World"[5] and the book World Out of Balance: International Relations Theory and the Challenge of American Primacy (co-authored with Stephen G. Brooks) are influential in the field of international relations.
