IR cannot be reduced to abstract structural arguments based on clear causal relationships.
A well-researched and ground-breaking work that sets the pace for a new scholarly programme which finally takes the nineteenth century transition seriously within IR.
An historical analysis of the rise and fall of ideas in IR shows a messy, idiosyncratic, and capricious process of multiple causes, ironies, and dilemmas.
Like our stories of a lost Arthurian world, the realist-idealist debate is a recent story that says more about IR over the last three decades than it does about the past.
