Meta-Moves
The thriving field of international political sociology (IPS) has expanded explorations of the world while challenging the apparent abstractions of the international—and increasingly abandoning it altogether. Yet what early IPS called “the problem of the international”—the apparent productivity, ambiguity, and resilience of the concept—has lingered in the background, thus also provoking new responses to come to terms with it. While some call for …
Unwritable Pasts Unwritten
The way in which History has been brought into the field of International Relations has developed along the axis of absenting/presenting. The main aim of this literature has been to make present what has been absented from the narrative of the making of the international. The absence has predominantly been approached as caused either by a lack of knowledge or absence of specific subjects and/or actors from the narrative. The article argues that m…
Historicizing theory at the end of the world
In Search of the Unicorn
The article argues that the pre-modern/modern divide has a ‘regulative function’ in the narratives of the international and continues to be central in the reproduction of spatio-temporal hierarchies. The interrogation of spatio-temporal hierarchies in International Relations (IR) has predominalty focused on either searching for new origins or making the ‘non-West’ co-present but has not sufficiently interrogated the fixity of the past of Europe. …
History in the plural
Narratives of the making of the international have a specific configuration of past–present–future that constitutes the unitary character of historical time and continues to reproduce spatio-temporal hierarchies. The article argues that the historical turn in IR has addressed spatio-temporal hierarchies through different timing strategies but has not sufficiently problematised the concept of History specifically with respect to unitary historical…
Thinking through 1492
This Collective Discussion aims to open up space for an international political sociology of the production of historical knowledge that interrogates the politics around benchmark dates and what becomes knowable and unknowable through them. Specifically, it examines 1492 as a historiographical device through which to unpack how the discipline of IR knows history. 1492 presents a relevant case for this interrogation, for it is central for the hist…
Response section
In his response, Manjeet S. Pardesi argues that global international relations and relational scholarship rooted in global history can learn much from each other and must work together to overcome Eurocentrism while avoiding other forms of ‘centrisms’. The second contribution by Zeynep Gülşah Çapan aims to underline three interrelated dynamics: space (global), time (history), and knowledge. In the third and final response, Musab Younis draws on E…
Creating colonisable land
The social sciences and humanities in general and International Relations (IR) specifically are organised around what has been called ‘analytic bifurcation’. Analytic bifurcations artificially structure and divide analytic spaces into, for example, Europe/non-Europe, inside/outside, state/empire, and metropole/colony. Recently, these bifurcations have been problematised within IR and adjacent fields. Our article contributes to and extends these d…
Turkey and the Colonial/Modern International
(Re-)conceptualising the international
‘The international’ is the background condition that holds together inquiries of international politics, orders, systems, societies, practices, and so forth. Albeit being usually taken for granted, its foundational function begs the questions of what the international actually is or, instead, what conceptualisations of the international imply, project, and do. Periodic discussions in International Relations (IR) about the international as the sub…
TimeSpace of the ‘international’
The ‘international’, the ‘global’, the ‘world’ have become different ways of characterising what it is IR as a field studies. The semantic change signals two dynamics. Firstly, the assumption being that the international has to be replaced or ‘superseded’ with another concept since either the ‘international’ never did or at present does not reflect the ‘reality’ of what exists out there, which presupposes an exact relationship between the signifi…
The Politics of Translation in International Relations
Beyond Visible Entanglements
How to write non-Eurocentric histories has long been a concern in the humanities and the social sciences. Attempts at writing non-Eurocentric histories of the international have been trapped in an absence/presence dichotomy and made making present what was absented from the story of the international their main focal point. The article aims to contribute to these discussions through pointing to the limitations of existing approaches that focus on…
On The Steppe Tradition in International Relations
Historically informed works within the field of International Relations are receiving increasing attention (see: Anievas and Nisancioglu 2015; Phillips and Sharman 2015; Barkawi 2017). Iver Neumann

The title of the book is taken from an essay Hamid Dabashi wrote for Aljazeera which sparked debate about Eurocentric philosophy and the place of non-European thinkers within it. The Foreword of th
Turkey’s ambivalent self
This article aims to understand the ‘non-Western self’ and the different ways its ontological insecurity can manifest, through the example of Turkey, by contrasting Kemalism’s modernizing vision with Erdoğan’s current populism. We argue that the constructions of political narratives in Turkey (and by implication in other similar settings) derive from two interrelated aspects of the spatio-temporal hierarchies of (colonial) modernity: structural i…
Enacting the International/Reproducing Eurocentrism
This article focuses on the way in which Eurocentric conceptualisations of the ‘international’ are reproduced in different geopolitical contexts. Even though the Eurocentrism of International Relations has received growing attention, it has predominantly been concerned with unearthing the Eurocentrism of the ‘centre’, overlooking its varied manifestations in other geopolitical contexts. The article seeks to contribute to discussions about Eurocen…
Writing International Relations from the invisible side of the abyssal line
The article discusses the manner in which the story of the international system and the relationship between violence and civilisation that Andrew Linklater tells in Violence and Civilization in the Western States-Systems remains on the visible side of the absyssal line. Absyssal thinking refers to the distinctions created between visible and invisible realms and it is Eurocentrism as a system of knowledge that sustains and reproduces this abyssa…
Decolonising International Relations
How do we ‘decolonise’ the field of International Relations? The aim to decolonise has become a widely discussed and mentioned subject across the social sciences and humanities. The article aims to discuss what 'decolonisation' might mean in the context of the field of International Relations
