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.

This book is about European IR theoretical traditions, their
origins, and key figures. Theorizing is among the most important
activities that take place within scientific disciplines. Scholars
therefore routinely talk/debate about the discipline of IR and its
theories, theories are often used to form the pedagogical backbone
of IR and theories are also a key part of scholarly identities.
Over time, theories crystalize in to schools of thought, strands of
theorizing and theoretical traditions. This book and the volumes
that will follow focus on the origins and trajectories of
theoretical traditions, and key figures of IR thought in Europe in
the 20th Century. The authors are situated in Europe, and it is
thus the origins and trajectories of European theoretical
traditions, its intellectual history and contemporary forms of
theoretical knowledge today, that are on the agenda. In order to
achieve this ambitious aim, we opt for a transnational sociological
history approach, thus going beyond the national lens through which
IR has been predominantly studied. The series will have an
integrative function and contribute to a globalized discourse on IR
as a discipline. The key benefits of this first volume is that it
outlines IR theoretical traditions for the first time ever,
provides a novel framework for exploring IR's theories, and
contributes to define and strengthen the European identity of IR.
This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of IR.
