The History of International Relations:

contributions to the debate

Abstract

International Relations have been taken from other disciplines to conform itself as such: among them, history. However, it has not been reflected upon contributions and transformations that the historical discipline has gone through to be part of International Relations. This essay proposes to reflect on the epistemological characteristics of history, and its transformations, to its conformation with its own characteristics, different from both the traditional history and international history: specifically as History of International Relations.
