This book's key purpose is to contribute to the ongoing
"theoretical" discussion in the field of international relations
(IR) concerning the status of grand theories. However, it also has
a wider, critical mission: to challenge mainstream social science
and its dominant methodology, as well as the unfettered optimism
that the problem of social order can be solved by the "application"
of scientific knowledge to our practical problems. The author uses
rigorous philosophical analysis to focus on the unexamined
assumptions that form the bedrock of many contemporary scholars in
IR and demonstrates the unavailability of a universal "scientific"
procedure for finding the facts, when we face practical choices and
issues of social reproduction. This book will be of interest to
upper-level students of IR, sociology, history, and philosophy of
science; it will also speak to students of security, foreign policy
making, migration, and political economy, in addressing the basis
of their attitudes in thinking about the world and the role of
scholarship.
