Revisiting the ‘third debate’ (part I)

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 July 2010

Abstract

D. S. L. Jarvis has led a spirited and well-considered polemic against post-structuralist and post-modernist theories of International Relations, arguing that they still leave much to be desired if they are to succeed in establishing a viable alternative to the traditional theoretical approaches of the field. While Jarvis and his cohorts have clearly delivered a great many important criticisms to this end, the question nonetheless remains as to how adroitly the foundational literature of post-structuralist and post-modernist thought has been deployed by the dissident school of International Relations theory. As this article argues, a return to the foundations of anti-foundationalist thought thus becomes a vital necessity if the footing of the ‘third debate’ is to be secured with some greater degree of perspicuity and, indeed, in a manner more fruitful for the study of International Relations. In so doing, it concludes that the ‘power-knowledge’ problématique has been poorly construed and must be revisited with much greater care and attention to some clear object of study if the post-structuralist and post-modernist ventures are ultimately to be fulfilled.

89 The question of relativism poses all manner of interesting problems in this context – problems that must be parceled out with great care between empirical and normative realms if much mischief is to be avoided. For present purposes, however, I am interested exclusively in the empirical realm, which, given that both postmodernism and realism are morally and ethically relativistic, seems hardly an ill-guided approach.
