The concept of 'uneven and combined development' was originally
coined by Leon Trotsky to theorise Tsarist Russia's distinctive
experience of modernity and revolution. But it has re-emerged over
the last decade or so as a burgeoning research programme within
International Relations (IR) and historical sociology. It has been
critically and creatively deployed in two main areas: the provision
of a sociological foundation to international theory overcoming the
chronic schism between 'sociological' and 'geopolitical' modes of
enquiry; and, relatedly, in superseding prevailing Eurocentric
approaches in the social sciences. This volume is the first to
provide a sustained reflection on the idea of uneven and combined
development as the intellectual basis for a non-Eurocentric social
theory of 'the international'. It does so through a series of
empirically rich and theoretically informed analyses of
socio-historical change, political transformation, and
intersocietal conflict over the longue duree. The volume thereby
aims to demonstrate the unique potentials of uneven and combined
development in overcoming IR and historical sociology's shared
inability to theorize the interactive and multilinear character of
development.
