Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The discipline of IR as it developed during the twentieth century was for the most part overwhelmingly eurocentric. The eurocentric character of IR, which is finally being given increasing attention by critical scholars, included a relative marginalisation of the question of North-South relations. Rather than recognising the centrality of relations of imperialism and colonialism to the structures, regulation and discourses of international relations over five centuries, North-South relations were considered at best a particular ?issue-area? of concern mainly to the subfield of IPE. This marginalisation of north-south relations has extended further to a blindness regarding the question of race in international relations. This paper considers the centrality of race in the historical development and reproduction of international relations. In order to do so it is necessary to re-think underlying assumptions regarding units of analysis and our basic model of social reality, including questions of cause and its extension in time and space. In other words, we need to reconsider the assumed ontology underlying and informing the study of international relations. It is in part the empiricist ontology underlying the mainstream of IR which has led to the lack of recognition of race in contemporary international relations. The paper outlines a more adequate theory of ontology, informed by critical realism, which can form the basis for a critical analysis of the international relations of race and the racialised form of international relations. The contemporary structure of North-South relations is clearly a legacy of colonialism, although it has developed in new ways after formal decolonisation and exists within the modern international system of sovereign states and norms of universal equality and rights. It is obvious that colonialism was a thoroughly racialised structure of North-South relations. However, while modern North-South relations are characterised by enduring conditions of inequality and dependency, they do not appear to be racialised. This paper uses critical realist ontology as a basis for revealing the persistence of race in a system of apparently de-racialised North-South and international relations.
