Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: IR theory was developed after the Second World War in the context of the academic institutionalization of the social sciences. In reaction to its previous grounding in law and history, the study of international relations was to be a realistic and scientific analysis of power politics. The paper argues that, contrarily to the conventional historiography of the discipline, the articulation of a "theory" of international relations was a strategic move by political theorists to insulate the study of international politics from the behavioral sciences. Using unpublished material, it shows that the early circle of realist scholars who defined IR theory was actively assembled by the Rockefeller Foundation in an attempt at countering the liberal assumptions that guided the social sciences.
