Concluding the Deutscher Memorial Prize winning trilogy on 'Modes
of Foreign Relations and Political Economy', this is a magisterial
historical sociology of International Relations theory. In The
Discipline of Western Supremacy Kees van der Pijl argues that, from
the late European Middle Ages, Anglophone thinkers articulated an
imperial world-view which was adopted by aspirant elites elsewhere.
Nation-state formation under the auspices of the English-speaking
West has henceforth informed thinking about international affairs.
After decolonisation the study of comparative politics continued to
develop under those same auspices as part of a comprehensive
framework. As the first major sociological analysis of the field of
International Relations, this book advances a comprehensive
overview of mainstream IR as a set of theories which translate
Western supremacy into intellectual hegemony.
