“…Jackson and Krebs, 2007), or how transnational religious networks mobilize around events in order to disrupt modes of rule and reconstruct others (e.g. Nexon, 2009). In short, an 'eventful' approach allows researchers to see how historical events enable social formations to emerge, reproduce, transform and, potentially, break down.…”

The eternal divide? History and International Relations

On one level, history is used by all parts of the International Relations (IR) discipline. But lurking beneath the surface of IR's approach to history lies a well-entrenched binary. Whereas mainstream positions use history as a means to fill in their theoretical frames (seeing history as a kind of 'scripture' of abstract lessons), many post-positivists reduce history to a pick-and-mix of contingent hiccups (a 'butterfly' of what-ifs and maybes). Interestingly enough, this binary is one reproduced throughout the social sciences. As such, there is a bigger story to the apparently 'eternal divide' between history and social science than first meets the eye. This article uses the various ways in which history is used -and abused -in IR to probe more deeply into the relationship between history and social science as a whole. This exploration reveals four frameworks, two drawn from history (context and narrative) and two drawn from social science (eventfulness and ideal-typification) which illustrate the necessary co-implication of the two enterprises. The article employs these tools as a means of re-imagining the relationship between history and social science (including IR), conceiving this as a single intellectual journey in which both are permanently in view.

“…As Snyder (2011) has pointed out, and as I also emphasize, construc tivism's focus on ideas, norms, identity and culture makes it a good theoretical 'fit' for examining the role of religion in international politics. Indeed the work of several scholars of religion who make use of constructivism, such as Cecelia Lynch (2000aLynch ( , 2000bLynch ( , 2009, Scott M. Thomas (2005) and Daniel Nexon (2009), reflects this. Yet constructivist theorizing concerning religion's relationship with international politics is conspicuous by its absence among the mainstream and canonical works of constructivist International Relations theory (Snyder 2011).…”

“…This ignores religion's ideational and communal influences and appears premised on an understanding of religion as institutional, individual and irrational that excludes religion from mainstream International Relations analysis. There have been significant advances within constructivism on the topic of religion, particularly through the work of scholars like Scott Thomas (2005), Cecelia Lynch (2000b) and Daniel Nexon (2009. Indeed, Audie Klotz and Cecelia Lynch (2007: 7, 36, 74), in developing strategies for constructivist research agendas, have explicitly incorporated religion, among other marginalized phenomena within the constructivist theoretical framework.…”

“…The nearest thing was Charles the Fifth's Habsburg Empire encompassing Spain, Italy south of Rome, the Low Countries, Bohemia, Transylvania and Austria. The dynasty had immense difficulty in realising the benefits of scale against the centrifugal demands of its communities to uphold customary rights (Nexon 2009). Charles, born in Ghent, precipitated a communal revolt in Castile when he imposed Flemish courtiers and married an Iberian princess.…”

Palgrave Studies in European Political Sociology addresses contemporary themes in the fi eld of Political Sociology. Over recent years, attention has turned increasingly to processes of Europeanization and globalization and the social and political spaces that are opened by them. These processes comprise both institutional-constitutional change and new dynamics of social transnationalism. Europeanization and globalization are also about changing power relations as they affect people's lives, social networks and forms of mobility.The Palgrave Studies in European Political Sociology series addresses linkages between regulation, institution building and the full range of societal repercussions at local, regional, national, European and global level, and will sharpen understanding of changing patterns of attitudes and behaviours of individuals and groups, the political use of new rights and opportunities by citizens, new confl ict lines and coalitions, societal interactions and networking, and shifting loyalties and solidarity within and across the European space. We welcome proposals from across the spectrum of Political Sociology including on dimensions of citizenship; political attitudes and values; political communication and public spheres; states, communities, governance structure and political institutions; forms of political participation; populism and the radical right; and democracy and democratization.
