This book is about European IR theoretical traditions, their
origins, and key figures. Theorizing is among the most important
activities that take place within scientific disciplines.
Scholars therefore routinely talk/debate about the discipline of
IR and its theories, theories are often used to form the
pedagogical backbone of IR and theories are also a key part of
scholarly identities. Over time, theories crystalize in to
schools of thought, strands of theorizing and theoretical
traditions. This book and the volumes that will follow focus on
the origins and trajectories of theoretical traditions, and key
figures of IR thought in Europe in the 20th Century. The authors
are situated in Europe, and it is thus the origins and
trajectories of European theoretical traditions, its intellectual
history and contemporary forms of theoretical knowledge today,
that are on the agenda. In order to achieve this ambitious aim,
we opt for a transnational sociological history approach, thus
going beyond the national lens through which IR has been
predominantly studied. The series will have an integrative
function and contribute to a globalized discourse on IR as a
discipline. The key benefits of this first volume is that it
outlines IR theoretical traditions for the first time ever,
provides a novel framework for exploring IR’s theories, and
contributes to define and strengthen the European identity of IR.
This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of IR.
