"This book critically investigates the historiography of International Relations. For the past fifteen years, the field has witnessed the development of a strong interest in the history of the discipline. The chapters in this edited volume, written by some of the field's preeminent disciplinary historians, all manifest the best of an innovative and exciting generation of scholarship on the history of the discipline of International Relations. One of the objectives of this volume is to take stock of the historical turn. Yet this volume is not simply a stock-taking exercise, as it also intends to identify the limitations and blind spots of the recent historiographical literature. The chapters consider a range of diverse thinkers and examine their impact on understanding various dimensions of the field's history."--

International Law in its current form is dominated by positivism and voluntarism; yet, it has accepted a number of concepts from the Natural Law tradition that seem on the face of things to ill-fit the dominant normative complex. Of primary concern here are the Natural Law notions of categorical obligation that have been brought into International Law in the form ofjus cogensrules. A number of interesting questions present themselves. What are positivists doing talking about categoricals? How have they found a way to make this fit within their larger doctrine? Have positivists adopted the language of categorical obligation, but only the language, not the correlative practices? Is it simply a matter of smuggling in alien concepts and shoehorning them despite the lack of fit, or have they created something new that only seems not to fit? Ultimately, what we find is that International Law has accepted this idea in a form that ultimately is limited by voluntarism's insistence on the voluntary and specific character of all obligations.

Zusammenfassung
Wettbewerbspolitik erhält im Zuge der Globalisierung eine internationale Dimension. Doch die politischen Gestaltungs- und Sanktionierungsrechte für die Beurteilung von wettbewerbspolitisch bedenklichen Fällen sind nicht eindeutig zugeordnet, sobald diese grenzüberschreitend wirken. In Anlehnung an die Theorie des institutionellen Wandels von North spielen bei der Entstehung und Anpassung von Institutionen neben geänderten relativen Preisen opportunistische Akteure und die Komplementarität von Institutionen eine Rolle. Rückkopplungsprozesse können institutionellen Wandel pfadabhängig machen. So erklärt sich, warum Vorschläge für neue Institutionen der internationalen Wettbewerbspolitik wie ein Weltkartellamt oder eine Angliederung im Rahmen der WTO nicht zustande kommen, bestehende Ansätze wie das International Competition Network aber ein Schritt in diese Richtung sein können.
