KjellÃn played a decisive role in shaping both the institutional emergence of political science and the conceptual evolution of international relations and political theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough extensive archival research and employing the contextualist methodology of the Cambridge school, this book discovers and rethinks the contexts in which KjellÃnâs work developed. It situates his theories within early twentieth-century academic debates over political science and its emancipation from law, history, and philosophy. The work demonstrates how the foundations of political science were forged through concrete academic disputes, methodological controversies, and institutional struggles, while \u003ci\u003ereaffirming the enduring value of historical contextualization for understanding both the origins and contested legacies of the modern state\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch more than a biography, this study is an important contribution to the intellectual history of political theory, international relations, and the social sciences. It is of interest to historians, political scientists, geographers, political philosophers, and international lawyers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53515567989079,"sku":"9781032788630","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032788630.jpg?v=1782121655","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/theories-of-political-science-the-state-and-geopolitics-9781032788630","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
