This work is ideal for experienced scholars of international relations, particularly those skeptical of strict scientific methods, as well as emerging academics seeking alternative approaches to global politics theory.
A plea to return to a systematic study of history as a basis for theory. While the modest use of empiricism is always important, Puchala rejects the logical positivism of the so-called "scientific revolution" in the field in favour of a more complex, even intuitive, vision of global politics.

Description
Theory and History in International Relations is an eloquent plea to scholars of global politics to turn away from the "manufacture" of data and to return to a systematic study of history as a basis for theory.
While the modest use of empiricism is always important, Puchala rejects the logical positivism of the so-called "scientific revolution" in the field in favour of a more complex, even intuitive, vision of global politics.
He addresses the potential uses of history in studying some of the major debates of our time. Theory and History in International Relations will serve as a beacon to the masses of older IR scholars who were never comfortable with the "scientific revolution" and the next generation of scholars, who have become disillusioned with undiluted positivism.
