In contrast, the study of International Relations in Frenchspeaking countries did not at any time reach the critical threshold numbers required to generate serious demands for an independent academic discipline.

Such a theoretical position should be replaced by the description of the entire ‘living reality’, which should then be divided into different levels of abstraction of IR reality with the assistance of sociological concepts. Just as Max Weber criticized the historicism of the nineteenth century (Weber 1985: ch. 1), one can, of course, reproach this counter-position of misunderstanding the relationship between notion and reality. It presupposes particularistic circumstances in reality and thus erroneously blocks its general conceptualization.
