 "Professor Says American Publisher Turned Him Down - Forward.com"
John Mearsheimer says that the pro-Israel lobby is so powerful that he and co-author Stephen Walt would never have been able to place their report in a American-based scientific publication.
Mearsheimer said that he and Walt expected to be accused of being anti-Israel and antisemitic, so they made a point of stating in the study that the establishment of Israel was morally justified and that America’s support of Israel, in principle, is justified as well.
Mearsheimer dismissed accusations and insinuations that people or entities hostile to Israel encouraged him and Walt to write the paper or that they did so to appease Arab donors to their universities.

 Power Line: Professor Mearsheimer's first sip
John Mearsheimer says that the pro-Israel lobby is so powerful that he and co-author Stephen Walt would never have been able to place their report in an American-based scientific publication.
Mearsheimer said that he and Walt expected to be accused of being anti-Israel and antisemitic, so they made a point of stating in the study that the establishment of Israel was morally justified and that America's support of Israel, in principle, is justified as well.
Mearsheimer, of course, is a co-author, with Stephen Walt, of the infamous Harvard paper arguing that there is no moral or strategic basis for America's support of Israel and concluding that such support is explained by "the unmatched power of the Israel Lobby." As we noted Monday, their paper has drawn praise from David Duke.

 New Left Review - Peter Gowan: A Calculus of Power
Its author, John Mearsheimer, has for some time now been an iconoclastic voice in America’s complacent foreign-policy elite—one who, not by accident, has spent his career in scholarly work in universities, rather than serving as a functionary in the national-security bureaucracies whence conventional apologias for Washington’s role in the world are furnished.
Mearsheimer extricates himself with the weak corollary that a hegemon in one region must remain vigilant against the danger of a hegemon in another extending assistance to an upstart within its own bailiwick.
Mearsheimer is, of course, right to argue that, notwithstanding its might, it remains extremely difficult for America to wage large-scale land war in Eurasia.

 To the point: John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt: anti-Semitic narratives in the Left - UPDATED
Mearsheimer and Walt also imply that the foreign policy of the only superpower in the world today is at the mercy of a higher power (the 'Israel Lobby').
Mearsheimer and Walt's failure is that they do not explain what precisely is the source of this phenomenal power that (little) Israel and US Jews have over US foreign policy.
You people know Mearsheimer and Walt are correct in their analysis and you will use all the deceptive tools you can to get the typical dumb american to reject what they have to say.

Mearsheimer contends that great powers want to be as powerful as possible, but the most they can achieve is regional hegemony; global hegemony is unattainable, for logistical reasons having to do largely with the difficulty of projecting power across water.
Mearsheimer is the theory's leading proponent, and his book is not meant to be a balanced debate between realism and international liberalism, constructivism, etc.
Many will not agree with Mearsheimer's theory (this is the man, after all, who called for the nuclearization of Germany after the Cold War and pronounced NATO dead over a decade ago) but he is the leading Realist mind and strongest Realist voice in the IR community today.

Mearsheimer is a professor of international politics and security issues at the University of Chicago and Walt is an international affairs scholar at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
Mearsheimer reviewed the pressure brought on Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. John Warner (R-VA) for offering softer language on the resolution, and on Chris van Hollen (D-MD) for daring to call for an immediate ceasefire in a letter to Condoleezza Rice.
Mearsheimer thought not, but since the United States had been briefed about the attack, it should have said no for its own national interests and for those of Israel.

Mearsheimer claimed, “There is a considerable amount of evidence that there is a linkage between the two” — the two being American support for Israel and the terrorist attacks of September 11.
Walt and Mearsheimer just defended themselves from the charge of anti-Semitism by implying that American Jews have cunningly subverted some American gentiles to their cause as well.

 Amazon.com: The Tragedy of Great Power Politics: Books: John J. Mearsheimer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Mearsheimer attempts to provide a somewhat different spin on Kenneth Waltz's concept of how states behave in the anarchic international environment by creating the concept "offensive realism", but basically -- in both the case studies he looks at and most of the concepts he uses -- the book is just a rehash of traditional realism.
Mearsheimer makes the unassailable point that Zakaria's idea of the U.S.'s "imperial understretch" in the late nineteenth century fails to take into account the enormous effort required by the country to settle its recently conquered lands in the west.
Mearsheimer however does make sense in warning about the rise of China, and in suggesting that the U.S. not go overboard in strengthening a state which in many ways is already a major rival.

According to John Mearsheimer, professor of political science at the University of Chicago, two things make a country great: population and wealth — and the United States is not lacking in either.
The bottom line is that — with the possible exception of China — the United States is likely to be more powerful in the new century than it was in the last century, when it was the 800-pound gorilla on the block.

Mearsheimer and Walt have obviously confused Israel's citizenship laws with its law of return, which grants every Jew in the world the right to settle in the country.
Mearsheimer and Walt place much emphasis on the lobby's support for war in Iraq, but AIPAC's work on Iran has had far more impact in Washington (assisted as it is by the aggressive rhetoric and actions of President Ahmadinejad).
Mearsheimer and Walt's essay, meanwhile, has been the object of much study by AIPAC's research unit, which intently follows the activities of critics of Israel and of the lobby.

John Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, has a gift for generating controversy.
Mearsheimer explains the apparent contradiction by arguing that the United States, having achieved hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, did not attempt to extend its power abroad because of the difficulty of projecting military forces across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Although Mearsheimer anticipates and responds to these and similar questions, he rightly acknowledges that any social scientific theory is bound to face anomalies.

John Mearsheimer, a University of Chicago political science professor, and Stephen Walt, a professor of international relations at Harvard University’s Kennedy School, said the U.S. government’s unstinting support for Israel’s recent war in Lebanon once again placed the agenda of what they call the Israel lobby ahead of U.S. strategic interests.
Professor John Mearsheimer is a professor at the University of Chicago.
MEARSHEIMER: The problem with legislation like that is that when you talk about what is a friendly nation or what is an enemy nation, it’s very easy to find spin doctors who can define any particular nation as either a friend or a foe depending on the particular circumstances.
