Abstract: | We deploy Waevers sociology of science approach in a
criticalcomparison of the American and Japanese international relations
academies.We argue that there are four great debates in the American academy,
andfour traditions of scholarship in the Japanese academy. We describethese
debates and traditions in some detail, and identify andexplain points of
contact and difference between the two respectiveacademies. We conclude by
making a general case for methodologicalpluralism and offer reasons why the
Japanese international relationsacademy is keen to sponsor a journal which
is, in the wordsof Waever, able to draw on national traditions while
keepingup with American developments. |
