Theory and History in International Relations
Theory and History in International Relations is an eloquent plea to scholars of global politics to turn away from the manufacture of data and return to a systematic study of history as a basic for theory. While the modest use of empiricism will always be important, Puchala rejects the logical positivism of the so-called scientific revolution in the field in favor of a more complex, even intuitive, vision of global politics. He addresses the pote…

Of Pirates and Terrorists: What Experience and History Teach
In many important ways the activities of pirates menacing the world historically are analogous to those of international terrorists menacing the world today. This essay examines the history of piracy as it has occurred and recurred from ancient times to the present day. Emphasis is on conditions conducive to piracy's flourishing and strategies and tactics called upon to suppress it. Attention is also directed to the pirates themselves, particular…

Marking a Weberian Moment: Our Discipline Looks Ahead
That the discipline of International Relations is again in disarray was the prevailing theme of a seminar titled Visions of International Relations, held at the University of South Carolina in autumn 1998. This essay is at once a reflection on the discussions that took place at the seminar and a representation of views that I offered as a participant. It comments on the epistemological issues in contention in the "third great debate" in Internati…

Some Non-Western Perspectives on International Relations
perspectives that are most at variance with Western formulations. Non-radical, Third-World views - those of the moderates, modernists, secularists, and globalists, and of the westernized and socialscience socialized products of American and European graduate schools - are not discussed in this essay. Westerners would find the views of these moderates congenial, though it should be noted that these people and their views are vilified by those theo…
The Pragmatics of International History
This review builds on a renewed interest in the history of relations among states and peoples among International Relations scholars. Disappointed by the relative unproductiveness of more formalistic modes of analysis, there is a return to the History of International Relations, a core subject in the curricula of European universities. Since the pathways to knowledge in history lead to representations of reality mediated through subjective interp…
The History of the Future of International Relations
Most of the significant philosophies of history, ” Pitirim Sorokin observed, and “most of the intelligible interpretations of historical events...have...appeared either in periods of serious crisis, catastrophe, and transitional disintegration, or immediately More or alter such periods.” The twentieth century has been an age of continuing crisis in world politics. In terms of lives sacrificed to political idols, our century, in almost every inter…

International regimes: Lessons From Inductive Analysis
International regimes are attitudinal phenomena. They are thus subjective and exist primarily as participants' understandings, expectations or convictions about legitimate, appropriate or moral behavior. Regimes are identified and their tenets described by studying records of participants' perceptions gleaned either from interview transcripts or from appropriate documents. Theorizing concerning international regimes currently focuses upon identif…

Global Food Interdependence: Challenge to American Foreign Policy
Toward innovation in the global food regime
The market-oriented focus of the global food regime, as it functioned from the late 1940s to the early 1970s, has proved inadequate. Preoccupation with perfecting markets led food policy makers to underemphasize the need for increased production in the Third World. It also led them to exaggerated attention to short-term surplus disposal and too little concern about scarcity. The regime emerged from a context in which unilateral actions and domest…

International Transactions and Regional Integration
The relevance of transaction analysis to the study of regional integration has been the subject of controversy. In dialectical fashion though, this controversy has produced improved understanding. Early exponents, who tended at times to overestimate the efficacy of the transaction approach, have accepted its limitations, and, by the same token, some early critics of transaction analysis have accepted its usefulness. Overall, we have come to recog…
Domestic Politics and Regional Harmonization in the European Communities
In an operational sense, European integration amounts to the transnational harmonization and standardization of diverse national laws, practices, and norms. Insight into the integrative process in Western Europe, therefore, can be gleaned by looking into problems encountered during attempts at transnational harmonization. Case studies of national attempts to implement EEC directives in the fields of regional aid, pharmaceutical marketing, investm…

Perspectives on the international relations of food
The international system of production, distribution and consumption of food is managed by states, corporations and international organizations. International organizations play minor roles in the food regime, principally as arenas for policy coordination among state bureaucracies and as agents for modest multilateral programs. All of these actors work within the framework of a set of norms, rules and practices that constitutes a global food regi…
Integration and Disintegration in Franco-German Relations, 1954–1965
The object of this study is to determine how close to, or how far from, international integration France and the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) moved between 1954 and 1965. Results presented here are revealing though probably not astonishing: While some indices of international integration suggest growing assimilation between Frenchmen and West Germans at the societal level, others, paradoxically, show marked deterioration in French a…

But to a derivative set of more specific questions, which probe the same kinds of concerns, we can attempt answers. We can ask, and hope to disco…

Decisional Systems, Adaptiveness, and European Decisionmaking
Decision formation in the Community has reflected an adaptability responding to different times and circumstances. The process of decisionmaking has grown in capacity, complexity and sophistication. It evolves slowly, however, to allow the diversity of its component parts to adjust and adapt. The actual EC decisional performance record indicates both the expansion of cooperative initiatives and the long range increase in joint action. The overall…
