Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The perceived incompatibility between the fields of IR and history rests on the assumption that there exists an irreconcilable divide between the theory and the narrative. Although orientations differ, these have been exaggerated to the extent that the possibility of complimentarity appears absurd to many scholars on either side of the disciplinary divide. IR's isolationist tendency has only served to compound the problem that affects other disciplines to a somewhat lesser extent. In many ways, the theorist's call for interdisciplinarity ought to be the most vociferous of all, given that her claim to scholarship lies in her ability to present a comprehensive picture.
