The series "International Relations and Political Science", directed by Prof. Vittorio Emanuele Parsi and published by Vita e Pensiero, was created with the aim of offering the Italian and international academic debate reference works for understanding the dynamics of politics and the global economy.
- The inaugural volume, "What a difference can a day make. War, Peace and Security after September 11" (2003), paved the way for a rigorous and interdisciplinary editorial path, with contributions from world-renowned scholars such as Luigi Bonanate, Robert Gilpin, G. John Ikenberry and Matthew Evangelista
- Over the years, the series has hosted original texts and translations of central figures of international thought – including John Ikenberry, Charles Kupchan, Hedley Bull, Michael Ignatieff – opening the Italian panorama to the great voices of the global debate
