Postscript

10x10 - A freedom to combine

We have taken the liberty to ask ten leading contemporary social science scholars to present the ten works they find have formed their own academic development the most. In response to our invitation, B. Guy Peters, Chantal Mouffe, Elinor Ostrom, James M. Buchanan, Joseph H.H. Weiler, Kalevi Holsti, Kenneth Waltz, Ole Borre, Richard Katz and Thomas Hylland Eriksen present here a personal essay on each of the ten works that they think have had the greatest impact on their own thought, whatever these works may be.

 

10x10 is at least three different things:

 

100

Flapping through the issue, you will find personal reviews, reflections and recommendations of a 100 works that have shaped the thought of leading scholars.

 

10

The ten contributors have been given an opportunity to tell a situated story of their academic lives through the ten selected books, and through their own introduction and reflection on the selection process.

The most interesting, most demanding, and perhaps the most risky way of reading this issue is to read it as a map of the unmappable social and political sciences.

 

No matter what way you may want to read and reread it, we hope you will appreciate it!

 

To get a taste of what 10x10 is, read Ole Wæver's virtual contribution available at our homepage.
