This work seeks to explore the widely held assumption that the
discipline of International Relations is dominated by American
scholars, approaches and institutions. It proceeds by defining
'dominance' along Gramscian lines and then identifying different
ways in which such dominance could be exerted: agenda-setting,
theoretically, methodologically, institutionally, gate-keeping.
Turton dedicates a chapter to each of these forms of dominance in
which she sets out the arguments in the literature, discusses their
theoretical implications, and tests for empirical support. The work
argues that the self-image of IR as an American dominated
discipline does not reflect the state of affairs once a detailed
sociological analysis of the production of knowledge in the
discipline is undertaken. Turton argues that the discipline is
actually more plural than widely recognized, challenging widely
held beliefs in International Relations and it taking a successful
step towards unpacking the term 'dominance'. An insightful
contribution to the field, this work will be of great interest to
students and scholars alike.
