Myths[edit]

I was wondering why wikipedia keeps perpetuating myths. No historian of the discipline I am aware of would still claim there were REALLY three debates, they are purely post-hoc constructs to legitimise certain approaches. The only people talking in these terms are practitioners with a very tenuous grasps on their disciplines own history. Would changing that be legitimate or is there some kind of editorial consensus here? (For what I am talking about, see for example Brian C Schmidt, The Political Discourse of Anarchy: A Disciplinary History of International Relations. Albany, NY: State University of New York Press, 1998.) 178.103.52.90 (talk) 09:15, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A criticism section outlining the viewpoint that we should not view the history of IR in terms of a series of 'debates' would be useful. Feel free to write it! Francium12 18:31, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
