Abstract:
This chapter examines the two main historical traditions in International Relations: realism and internationalism-liberalism and their main adherent from antiquity until today. The realists presented are Thucydides, Machiavelli, Hobbes and Spinoza and more recently Carr, Morgenthau and others. The internationalists-liberals presented are Kant, Bentham, Angel, Wilson and Mitrany. Then the four International Relations debates cum scientific crises are presented, namely (1) idealism vs realism, (2) classicism vs behaviouralism, (3) the inter-paradigm debate (realism-liberalism-structuralism) and (4) today’s debate between positivism and the various variants of post-positivism (reflectivism), including constructivism.
