THE MARGINALIZATION OF PEACE RESEARCH IN INTERNATIONAL-RELATIONS

Peace research and International Relations appear compatible but are c ombative. Due to their divergent responses to the dichotomy indentifie d by Andrew Linklater as men versus citizens, peace research is margin alised within International Relations. This dichtomy, involving tensio n between one's obligations to humanity and one's duties as a citizen, can be reconciled within a critical theory approach. Without reconcil iation, the paper argues, the current relationship between peace resea rch and International Relations will remain.
