Theory, Ideal Theory and the Theory of Ideals
In: Political studies review, Band 10, Heft 1, S. 48-62
ISSN: 1478-9302
The recent prominence of the ideal/non-ideal debate is largely due to the fact that it offers a vocabulary in which to diagnose what many see as a key problem of political theory: its relative unwillingness to provide solutions to urgent problems facing people here and now; or for people as they are rather than as they should be. The primary aim of this article is to offer an improved understanding of the territory that the ideal/non-ideal debate relates to.
Waltz's Theory of Theory
In: International relations: the journal of the David Davies Memorial Institute of International Studies, Band 23, Heft 2, S. 201-222
ISSN: 1741-2862
Waltz's 1979 book, Theory of International Politics, is the most influential in the history of the discipline. It worked its effects to a large extent through raising the bar for what counted as theoretical work, in effect reshaping not only realism but rivals like liberalism and reflectivism. Yet, ironically, there has been little attention paid to Waltz's very explicit and original arguments about the nature of theory. This article explores and explicates Waltz's theory of theory. Central attention is paid to his definition of theory as `a picture, mentally formed' and to the radical anti-empiricism and anti-positivism of his position. Followers and critics alike have treated Waltzian neorealism as if it was at bottom a formal proposition about cause—effect relations. The extreme case of Waltz being so victorious in the discipline, and yet being so consistently misinterpreted on the question of theory, shows the power of a dominant philosophy of science in US IR, and thus the challenge facing any ambitious theorising. The article suggests a possible movement of fronts away from the `fourth debate' between rationalism and reflectivism towards one of theory against empiricism. To help this new agenda, the article introduces a key literature from the philosophy of science about the structure of theory, and particularly about the way even natural science uses theory very differently from the way IR's mainstream thinks it does — and much more like the way Waltz wants his theory to be used.

The Practice of Theory, the Theory of Practice
In: Critical review: an interdisciplinary journal of politics and society, Band 5, Heft 2, S. 179-202
ISSN: 0891-3811
The practice of theory is defended against the recent antitheory movement which questions the relevance of theory itself. Taking hermeneutical theory as a model, an attempt is made to show how a properly postmodern conception of the role & function of theory eludes the criticisms of various antitheorists. In formulating a new way of envisaging the relation between theory & practice, the theoretical enterprise is not only supported, but its importance for the discursive practices of the human sciences & for sociopolitical praxis is demonstrated.
