This article explores the international political thought of one of the most prominent late Victorian public intellectuals, John Robert Seeley (1834–95), the Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge, and author of the best-selling The Expansion of England (1883). Challenging conventional readings of Seeley, I argue that his vision of global politics must be located within the wider frame of his views on the sacred, and that he is seen best as articulating an intriguing political theology of international relations. In particular, I argue that instead of interpreting him as a realist, as has traditionally been the case, his position is classified most accurately as 'cosmopolitan nationalism'. Only by situating him in the intellectual context(s) of his time is it possible to provide an adequate account of the identity of his political thought.

The purpose of this working paper is to discuss Turkey's new role in international politics at the beginning of the 21st Century and to analyse the main political and economic challenges for the country to become a regional power of medium size. The paper has three main parts. The first provides a brief overview of the main characteristics of Turkey's international relations during the Cold War period. Then it examines Turkey's present economic and political development in order to identify its basic handicaps and the pre-conditions necessary for becoming a regional power. The final section focuses on the future prospects of Turkey's place in the international order. Turkey's international relations after the Second World War were mainly determined by three interdependent factors: (1) national security; (2) economic cooperation; and (3) the country's full integration into 'Western civilisation' through the so-called 'Europeanisation process'.

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma experiência interdisciplinar que vem sendo implementada em um curso de Relações Internacionais do Instituto de Relações Internacionais de Universidade de São Paulo entre as disciplinas de História das Relações Internacionais e Teoria das Relações Internacionais. Essas disciplinas foram estruturadas a partir de um eixo temático comum (segurança internacional e origem de guerras, em particular a 1º Guerra Mundial), a fim de viabilizar uma melhor interação entre as áreas de História e Ciência Política, tendo em vista a predominância de internacionalistas com formação em Política Internacional na oferta de cursos de Teorias de RI. Os resultados sugerem que as diferenças de abordagem teórico-metodológica entre História e Ciência Política, amplamente reconhecidas pela literatura, e que dificultam a integração entre essas disciplinas, também abrem ricas perspectivas para que limitações de um campo do conhecimento sejam compensadas pelas vantagens do outro.Palavras-chave: Ensino, Interdisciplinaridade, Multidisciplinaridade.ABSTRACTThis paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary experience that has been implemented in an International Relations course at the Institute of International Relations at the University of São Paulo between the disciplines of International Relations History and International Relations Theory. These disciplines were structured around a common thematic axis - international security and origin of wars, particularly World War I - to enable a better interaction between the areas of History and Political Science. The results suggest that the differences in the theoretical-methodological approach between History and Political Science, widely recognized in the literature, and which hinder the integration between these disciplines, also open rich perspectives for limitations of one field of knowledge to be offset by the advantages of the other.Keywords: Teaching, Interdisciplinarity, Multidisciplinarity.Recebido em: 01 out. 2018 | Aceito em: 08 abr. 2019

El artículo tiene por objetivo dar cuenta de los diferentes enfoques que desde la disciplina de las Relaciones Internacionales permiten estudiar el fenómeno de las organizaciones internacionales. En este sentido, en primer lugar se realiza un abordaje conceptual y una caracterización de las organizaciones internacionales, así como una diferenciación del término Instituciones Internacionales. En segundo lugar, se señalan aquellos trabajos a los que se tuvo acceso que han estudiado el tema en los últimos años, evidenciándose que han existido esfuerzos desde diferentes puntos del planeta en indagar sobre este tema. En tercer lugar, se analiza el papel que juegan las organizaciones internacionales en la disciplina, específicamente desde los enfoques teóricos del realismo y neorrealismo, liberalismo, institucionalismo neoliberal e interdependencia compleja, constructivismo y otras contribuciones teóricas (entre ellas, la visión crítica, el funcionalismo, neo-funcionalismo, la teoría del agente-principal y la perspectiva feminista). Por último, se presentan reflexiones finales. Así, el artículo estudia un actor internacional considerado por los autores de carácter más estatocéntrico no tradicional en las Relaciones Internacionales, tal como son las organizaciones internacionales, que desde mediados del siglo XX han incrementado su presencia en el sistema internacional, vinculándose en la actualidad tanto con gobiernos nacionales como subnacionales y abarcando una amplia variedad de temas y problemáticas. ; The article has as main objective to evidence the different approaches from the International Relations discipline that permit to study the international organizations. In this sense, first the article defines and characterizes the international organizations, as well as a differentiation from the term international institutions. Second, those researches published in the last years related to the issue of this paper are being exposed in the discussion section given account of the efforts made around the globe to inquire into this subject. Third, the article analyses the role played by the international organizations in the IR discipline, specifically from theories such as, realism and neo-realism, liberalism, neoliberal institutionalism and complex interdependence, constructivism, and others theoretical contributions (like the critical theory, the functionalism and neo-functionalism, the principal and agent, and the feminist theory). Finally yet importantly, final reflections are being presented. Thus, the paper studies an international actor considered by the most state-centric authors as non-traditional in the IR, such as the international organizations, which from mid-20th century have increased its presence in the international system, with currently relations with national and sub-national governments and reaching a huge variety of issues.

The processes of national codification of Private International Law and International Civil Procedure in the modern world are characterized by high intensity, but each state demonstrates its own specific features. In this regard, Latin American countries are of great interest – the codified Private International Law appeared in many of them already in the XIX century, and then the processes of its regional unification began. Despite the fact that the national Private International Law in all these countries was initially internationally oriented, each legislator solved the issues of its systematization in his own way. In view of this, it is of interest to undertake a brief analysis of the General Law on Private International Law of Uruguay, which was adopted in 2020 and entered into force in 2021. The research is aimed at clarifying and understanding the motives for the recodification of Private International Law / International Civil Procedure of Uruguay; analyzing the method (form) of codification and identifying the reasons for its election; evaluating the method of codification and the main novelties that have been consolidated in the new normative act. During the research, the relevant legal methodology was used: comparative legal and dialectical methods, methods of historical analysis, semantic and dogmatic interpretation of the law. Analysis of the General Law of Uruguay allows us to conclude that the method of two-fold codification of Private International Law / International Civil Procedure chosen by the legislator is not entirely successful: it lacks the most important part - the rules on recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions. An autonomous complex codification of Private International Law / International Civil Procedure has been carried out in the country, but it turned out to be logically incomplete. The new General Law deserves high evaluation for its content, successfully combining traditional Latin American approaches with the latest developments present in international acts and doctrinal studies.
