Disagreements frequently arise over the dominant role played by realism in the study of international relations. Even though some scholars characterize the discipline by its rich theoretical diversity, others see realist concerns overshadowing all alternative theories. John Vasquez's The Power of Power Politics (1983) demonstrated how the realist paradigm had informed more than 90 percent of the data‐based articles published from the end of World War II to 1970. In this Forum, we reevaluate the centrality of realism in international relations scholarship. Reviewing 515 data‐based articles published from 1970 to 2000, we find that the proportion of articles informed by realism has been declining over the past three decades. From 1995 to 2000, liberalism surpassed realism as the leading guide to inquiry. This new theoretical pluralism calls into question the power of power politics thesis as a fitting description of contemporary research in international relations.

“…Some of the basic ideas soon appeared in other educational efforts in Israel and in a week-long workshop for inmipation workers in Sweden. Gradually, I became convinced that the field of peace education can be enhanced by what the social sciences and the helping professions know about human motivation and behavior (Burton & Sandole, 1986; C. R. Rogers, 1%5).…”

“…632) describe the trajectory by which experience becomes dispute: "[E]xperiences become grievances, grievances become disputes, and disputes take various shapes, follow particular dispute processing paths." Burton (1995) distinguishes disputes from conflicts, claiming that disputes entail negotiable interests, whereas conflicts develop around nonnegotiable issues of basic human needs. Implicit in these characterizations is the assumption that these divergent and problematic experiences move through both social interactions and institutions, making their transformation (into disputes and/or conflicts) phenomenological and material at the same time.…”

“…Furthermore, can we assume that the resolution of social conflict is a universal desideratum and universally recognized when it occurs? For sociologists and academics in cognate disciplines interested in conflict, such assumptions are not a given (Coser 1956, Simmel 1964, Burton 1990.…”

For generations, sociological theorists have debated the relative function, utility, and harm of social conflict and its resolution. This review identifies some of the most prominent among recent contested forms of conflict resolution as well as their social histories, worldviews, and ways of operating. In sorting out the myriad theoretical traditions and positions guiding this field, we note that the resolution of social conflict is a thing in itself, and hence any design of its study should be directed at this liminal moment during which change is occurring. We conclude by examining four aspects of resolution—violence, spatiality, temporality, and language—using these themes to demarcate fault lines or gaps in the literature and to suggest new directions for future research.
