The project was conceived while Simon resided as a Fritz Thyssen fellow at the WCFIA and would not have been possible without the intellectual advice and friendly encouragement of Karl Kaiser. Karl signed on to the project early on and guided it through the rough waters of acquiring the necessary funding and organising the first workshop at Harvard University. We are grateful for his personal and professional guidance and, most importantly, for his faithful reassurance. Our motivation to edit a volume on international friendship grew out of our joint interest in studying regional peaceful integration. Looking at the patterns of regional politics in the transatlantic area and Latin America, respectively, we both found ourselves left dissatisfied with explanations of friendship in international politics. This is why we decided to compile an edited volume to find out more about how and why friendship patterns matter in International Relations (IR) or what it actually means. For this purpose, we began to search across the globe to see if we could find scholars equally puzzled by this phenomenon. To our surprise, there were quite a few. We invited some of these scholars to participate in the first workshop at Harvard University in February 2012 to present and exchange our ideas and insights. Based on this workshop, we asked our participants to spell out their ideas further and write draft chapters for an envisioned edited volume, which were presented at a second workshop at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in October 2012. A remarkable group of scholars has accompanied and supported the development of this research project and we are grateful for their intel- lectual wit and generosity in contributing to this volume in various important ways. In particular, we thank Andreas Falke, Mischa Hansel, Alastair Iain Johnston, Preston King, Charles Kupchan, Andrea Liese, Kevork Oskanian, Beth Simmons, Stephan Stetter, Alexander Wendt, Michael Zürn, and numerous others who have supported this project from early on and provided us with valuable advice and encourage- ment throughout the process. We are also grateful to Eleanor Davey- Corrigan, Naomi Robinson, Harriet Barker, and Julia Willan at Palgrave viii Acknowledgements ix Macmillan, as well as Steven Bloomfield, Michelle Eureka, Megan Margulies, Thomas Murphy, and Ann Townes at the WCFIA for their enthusiasm and support. Other than that, we need to thank our families – our partners and our young kids – as ever, for their understanding during the busy periods when this project took us away from them, and for their unconditional love, always. Finally, I (Andrea) would like to thank Simon – a lot – for his patience, persistence, and encouragement. Simon Koschut Berlin/Nuremberg Andrea Oelsner Aberdeen
