“…Despite the richness of its insights, neo-functionalism is today widely regarded as having offered an unsatisfactory account of European integration (Hoffmann, 1966;Hansen, 1969;Taylor, 1983;Haas, 1975;Keohane and Nye, 1975;Webb, 1983; Keohane and Hoffmann, 1991;Comett and Caporaso, 1992). The most widely-cited reason is empirical: neo-functionalism appears to mispredict both the trajectory and the process of EC evolution.…”

“…Por otro lado, también se desarrolló una vertiente en las Relaciones Internacionales alrededor de la elaboración de indicadores estadísticos, entre los que sobresalen, retomando a Calduch (2006), los indicadores del poder estatal, en sus vertientes militar y económica (Hart, 1976), del número y alcance de los conflictos bélicos (Bouthoul & Carrère, 1976;James, 1989), de los flujos de comunicación (Deustsch, 1970), del grado de integración (Hansen, 1969;Lindberg, 1970), del nivel de desarrollo y de la estabilidad del sistema internacional (Haas, 1970;Bueno De Mesquita, 1975).…”

Este artículo tiene por objetivo presentar una metodología para determinar la incidencia de la paradiplomacia en el desarrollo territorial. Por lo tanto, el diseño metodológico constituye la metodología planteada en sí misma y aplicada a un estudio de único caso, el de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia, en el periodo 2000-2015. Tras este ejercicio es posible concluir que la metodología formulada puede ser parametrizada a cualquier caso de paradiplomacia. También fue posible concluir que el desarrollo de la ciudad de Medellín está vinculado en gran medida a su proceso de paradiplomacia.

“…In the interim neofunctionalism had been exposed to a powerful intergovernmentalist critique (Hoffmann, 1966 is always cited; see also Hansen, 1969), but for many its primary problem was its incapacity to build a general predictive theory of regional integration from its inductive engagement with the early European experience. A cautionary theoretical atmosphere came over EU studies throughout much of the 1970s as social science more generally became less enamoured with the ambitions of grand theory, choosing instead to focus on the 'mid range'.…”

“…The scattered intergovernmentalist critiques (particularly that of Hoffmann, 1966; less so that of Hansen, 1969) were taken very seriously. For example, the authorial Preface to the second edition of The Uniting of Europe (Haas, 1968) This raises questions of what neofunctionalism was actually able to achieve in it heyday.…”

IntroductionThe task of writing disciplinary history is far from straightforward.1 Like all history, the composition of a narrative about a field is undertaken at a particular time and in a particular place -from a particular 'subject position' that may reflect certain biases which in turn follow from a multiplicity of concerns that follow from those temporal and spatial coordinates. 'Formal' disciplinary histories in any field are relatively rare, while stock-taking, 'state of the art' exegeses are found rather more often. More common still, though largely unacknowledged as exercises in disciplinary history, are those acts of framing and story-telling about a field's past that routinely pepper scholarship in an area of enquiry. In other words scholarly activity is characterised by the constant flow of stories, which offer claims about routes to progress through the rectification of past errors and classify the field's development over time. Thus interventions in a field's present routinely make arguments about that field's past.The net result could well be that the history of a field 'is known more by reputation than readership' (Fuller, 2003: 29).The most prominent recent historian of the discipline of international relations (IR) argues that there 'is an intimate link between disciplinary identity and the manner in which we understand the history of the field' (Schmidt, 2002: 16 showing how, overwhelmingly, extant stories about the evolution of EU studies are bound up with particular claims about the organisation of knowledge in the present.Indeed the argument here suggests that disciplinary history is used to adjudicate disputes about the proper scope and substance of the study of EU politics, which in turn connect to some quite fundamental struggles for the soul of political science.Thus the chapter is also attentive to sociology of knowledge questions. These remind us that our knowledge about the world is produced amidst broad scientific and more specific disciplinary structures, norms, practices and institutions -what Jørgensen (2000) neatly calls the 'cultural-institutional context' of academic work. It follows that the evolution of a field is (at the very least) partly a function of developments within the field. These in turn might reflect much broader path dependent pathologies, which take us back to the intellectual and socio-political conditions of disciplinary foundation (Mancias, 1987). This 'internalist' take on disciplinary history might not necessarily provide a full explanation of why scholars of EU politics address particular puzzles at particular moment, but it does offer a framework for understanding why particular theories and approaches dominate at particular times (Schmidt, 1998;Waever, 2003). At the same time, many would prefer to argue for an 'externalist' understanding of disciplinary evolution, where the main academic 4 innovations are largely construed as responses to the changing anatomy of the field's primary object of study (the EU/the politics of European integration).
