At a time when the field of International Relations (IR) is
diverting from grand theoretical debates, rediscovering the value
of classical realism and exploring its own intellectual history,
this book contributes to these debates by presenting a cohesive
view of Raymond Aron's theory of IR. It explores how a careful
reading of Aron can contribute to important current debates, in
particular what a theory of IR can be (and thus, what is within or
outside the scope of this theory), how to bridge the gap that
emerged in the 1970s between a "normative" and a "scientific"
theory of IR, and finally how multidisciplinarity is possible (and
desirable) in the study of IR. This edited collection offers a
synthetic approach to Raymond Aron's theory of International
Relations by bringing together some of the most prominent
specialists on Raymond Aron, thus filling an important gap in the
current market of books devoted to IR theories and the
historiography of the field. The volume is divided into three
parts: the first part explores Aron's intellectual contribution to
the theoretical debates in IR, thus showing his originality and
prescience; the second part traces Aron's influence and explores
his relations with other prominent scholars of his time, thus
contributing to the historiography of the field; and the third part
analyses Aron's contemporary relevance. This comprehensive volume
contributes to current debates in the field by showing the
originality and breadth of Aron's thought. This book will be of
great interest to academics and students interested in IR theories,
strategic studies and the historiography of the field.
