o Approaches to History in IR
▪ Closet of Facts
• Neorealism
• Past is just a lot of facts to test theories about the present
• History as monochrome flatland – always the same / repetitive
• Emphasis on continueties and omni-applicable theories



▪ Middle way approaches
• English school
• Constructivism
• Historical sociology
• Conceptual history
• Try to both use history in detail and establish patterns, forming the
middle ground between the two approaches



▪ Shopping list
• Poststructuralism
• Past is a list of minor events/accidents that have huge impact
• No discernable patterns in history – always different
• Emphasis on discontinuities
o Historical analysis levels
▪ History
• The general study of the past
• A nonfictional account of the past
• Aspires to construct and tell stories about the discovered evidence
of the past

, • Try to understand and explain past events by interpreting their
meaning
• Formation of arguments which are as accurate as possible on the
basis of existing evidence
o Why and how did events happen
o What caused an event
o Which individuals play important roles
o What is the meaning of the events studies. In terms of the
past and, present, and the future.
▪ Metahistory
• Emphasizes patterns and regularities, great drivers of development,
and thus larger meaning of history (overarching theories)
• “the history manifesto”
• The longue durée - Fernand Braudel
o Taking a long view of history to identify long-term trends
and patterns and distinguish the contingent
(temporarily/contemporary) from the permanent
▪ e.g. “the rise of authoritarian regimes” and “mass
emigration”
▪ Antihistory
• The idea that when we speak of history, fiction and non-fiction are
identical
• Particularly relevant concept in age of “fake news” and “post truth”
• Examples:
o Holocaust didn’t happen
o Moonlanding was a hoax
o Obama wasn't born in the US
• Relativism
o All naratives are equally important
o There is no single truth, all narratives carry truth
o Extreme relativists turn to what they find the most useful
fictions for their own purpose
o Not history proper
o Subcategories of history
▪ Big History
• Also called universal history and world history
• Concerned with the history of the world since the big bang
• Integrates plenty natural sciences (prehistory)
▪ Global History
• Also called world history sometimes
• Looking at a story of connections within the global human
community
• Look beyond single country or region and into development of the
connected whole of society
• “the human world comprises a multiplicity of co-existing societies”
o Coexistence
o Difference

, o Interaction
▪ Positive or negative
