The BISA Historical Sociology and International Relations Working Group is organising a workshop in December 2017 that will follow on from the theme of the ‘Future of Historical Sociology and IR’ developed at the 2017 BISA Annual Conference. The workshop will have a more sustained focus on the problematic of difference central to the main strands of heterodox and critical IR, post- and de-colonial approaches in particular.
While the historical sociology of international relations has become firmly ensconced in the discipline – especially in the British context – questions remain about its future. The core focus has been on specific macro-historical theories of societal development in relation to the international to the relative neglect of questions of method (e.g. should the focus only be on the macro? should issues around historical contingency and continuity be foregrounded?), modes of theorising (e.g. idiographic v. nomothetic approaches), the production of evidence (e.g. historians versus social scientists), and the overall importance of the ‘sociological’ in relation to the ‘historical’. Most, if not all, of these questions arguably subsist on a deeper question regarding the condition of ‘difference’, including its historical, developmental, and epistemological instances. The problematic of difference and its fundamental implications for social sciences in general and IR and historical sociology in particular, have been thrown into sharp relief by the burgeoning postcolonial and decolonial approaches in the discipline. Some aspects of this question have been addressed, though often implicitly, in the recent debate about variations in understanding ‘the international’ in historical sociology in the works of those deploying frameworks of ‘uneven and combined development’ and ‘social property relations’. However, much more explicit, critical, and systematic reflection on this question is needed. This workshop is a tentative step in this direction.
The workshop invites contributions from any theoretical perspective within the broad remit of historical sociology looking at broad scope and direction of the study of HSIR in the future, with particular attention to the problem of difference.
The workshop is sponsored by the BISA Historical Sociology and International Relations Working Group: http://historical-sociology.org/. Thanks to funding from BISA, the workshop is free and catering will be provided (spaces will be limited). Both paper givers and research students will also receive a limited travel allowance. The workshop will be held at Queen Mary, University of London in December 2017.
To apply for the workshop, please submit a paper title and abstract (of no more than 200 words) to Bryan Mabee (b.mabee@qmul.ac.uk) and Kamran Matin (k.matin@sussex.ac.uk). The deadline is 29 September 2017.
