About this book series
A series of 9 select Palgrave Pivots that
together will provide concise accounts of IR theoretical traditions in Europe
and the historical and theoretical roots that European IR currently is missing.
The series will provide a theoretical backbone for the IR discipline and define
and strengthen the identity of European IR theory. Each Pivot in the series will constitute and reconstruct IR theoretical traditions in Europe (Liberalism, Realism, English School, International Political Economy, International Political Theory, Feminism, and the post-positivist tradition including constructivism, post-structuralism, post-colonialism and critical theory), and a concluding volume will look back and summarise the advances (and missed opportunities) of the discipline in the 20th century, all following an initial framework volume setting the scene and providing the rationale. As a theoretical tradition is nothing without theorists to produce,
reproduce and transform it, the individual volumes will necessarily focus on
the contributions of individual theorists, a feature that will provide the
series with a unique edge, and covering the main characteristics of each
tradition that is sorely missing. But more than just providing roots, the
series will have a critical integrative function. In order to achieve this aim,
the projects will take a transnational perspective, going beyond the sociology
of knowledge studies that so far has been predominantly national in its
orientation. Each Pivot will be kept as close as possible to a common length
and shared structure; the volumes will be developed individually yet with a very
clear common thread and thus appear as an exclusive collection. Individual
volumes will have a largely identical structure which the editorial committee
will define and enforce.
