Article Review 103 on “A Means of First Resort: Explaining “Hot Pursuit” in International Relations.”

September 7, 2018September 10, 2018 By Peter B. White

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n a “Means of First Resort: Explaining ‘Hot Pursuit’ in International Relations,” Lionel Beehner explores variation in the practice of “Hot Pursuit” by different countries. The author defines Hot pursuit as “a limited violation of sovereignty by a state…using military forces in pursuit of violent…non-state actors” (3). Hot pursuit can entail a number of different tactics—from commando raids, to border incursions, to air strikes, and can vary in intensity. However, in Beehner’s definition, hot pursuit “must involve the physical transgression of an international territorial border” (4). In framing the article, Beehner argues that there is little work on this subject and that this is likely due to hot pursuit inhabiting a “hard-to-define gray zone between interstate and intrastate wars” and rarely garners media coverage due to low casualties or its covert nature (2). Beehner’s main focus is not on whether hot pursuit occurs but in variation in attitudes and practices of hot pursuit across states and time.

Article Review 100 on “Is International Relations a Global Discipline?  Hegemony, Insularity, and Diversity in the Field”

July 5, 2018June 30, 2018 By Tony Porter

Does the academic discipline of International Relations (IR) still reflect the dominance of U.S. approaches, universities, and scholars that have characterized it since the mid-twentieth century? Is IR becoming more global and diverse, or is it increasingly dividing into national approaches that may find it more difficult to talk to one another? This article by…

Roundtable 10-4 on Perception and Misperception in International Politics and on How Statesmen Think: The Psychology of International Politics

December 8, 2017December 3, 2017 By Thomas Christensen, Rose McDermott, Dianne Pfundstein Chamberlain, James B. Steinberg, Philip Zelikow

Robert Jervis is at the same time a giant and a gadfly, a leader and a subversive in the field of international relations. In his career, Jervis has often been very much a theorist in the mainstream political science tradition. In some of his most famous works—including “Cooperation Under the Security Dilemma” and The Meaning…

ISSF Review Essay 30 on The Return of the Theorists: Dialogues with Great Thinkers in International Relations

April 7, 2017April 2, 2017 By Nicholas Onuf

Quite a few scholars in International Relations (IR) date its origin as a field of study from 1919; others, including this reviewer, see the years directly after World War II as the point of origin. Either way, IR is the new gang on the block, seriously short on street cred. The block housing the social…

February 22, 2016February 2, 2017 By Richard Ned Lebow, Edward Keene, Jennifer Mitzen, Ayşe Zarakol, Barry Buzan and George Lawson

Barry Buzan and George Lawson have produced a book of grand scope that examines the multiple ways modernity has influenced the world and our theories about it.

Forum 12 on “Special Issue: Traditions of British International Thought”

January 21, 2016February 2, 2017 By Ian Hall, Daniel Gorman, Jo-Anne Pemberton

Over the last twenty years, interest in past thinkers and theories has grown, and the history of international thought has emerged to stand alongside the history of political thought. A series of studies of canonical thinkers,[2] schools of thought,[3] and key periods have appeared,[4] advancing our knowledge of past international thought.  At the same time,…

Roundtable 7-13 on The Great Powers and the International System Systemic Theory in Empirical Perspective

February 22, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

It is difficult for me to imagine an international relations (IR) scholar not being interested enough in Bear Braumoeller’s The Great Powers and the International System to read this review symposium. I’ll warrant that I’m biased on the matter, having been nurtured on systemic IR theory as an undergraduate and graduate student, liking books that…

Roundtable 3-5 on The Invention of International Relations Theory; Realism, the Rockefeller Foundation and the 1954 Conference on Theory

November 9, 2011September 21, 2015 By H-Diplo

Constructing a new, supposedly autonomous academic discipline is anything but a neutral exercise, one that never occurs in a social or intellectual vacuum, but is invariably the product of a highly specific time, place, and context.  Nicolas Guilhot’s stimulating volume of essays uses the prism of a 1954 Rockefeller Foundation conference on the theory of…
