“…As Owens and Rietzler have recently pointed out with respect to the oblivion meted out to women's international thought before the 1980s by men such as Wight, the privileging of 'theory' played a crucial role in silencing several generations of internationalists and their concerns. 216 Such concerns included empire, race, democracy (especially the democratic control of foreign policy), women in international affairs and, ironically, contemporary history. In their place came, in theory's wake, elite perspectives, mainly those of statesmen, diplomats and other 'men of judgment' and 'classics' of political thought.…”

This is a series of solicited articles requested by the editors of Vol. 51, emerging from a roundtable discussion held at the 2022 International Studies Association Convention. Each short contribution seeks to demonstrate the newest research of the English School of International Relations. These contributions tackle key questions including: the decline of liberal hegemony, the rise of China, the divide between soldaristic and pluralistic ethics, the engagement of the English School with Area Studies, theoretical approaches to grounding English School research and an investigation of the English School’s intellectual legacy.

“…From at least the late 19th century, women thinkers contributed to conceptual debates about IR (Ashworth, 2021; Owens et al, 2022b). There is an historical irony in the fact that the person who coined the expression ‘international thought’ disappears from histories of international thought written since the middle of the 20th century (Sluga, 2021: 224). The fate of Florence Melian Stawell’s work is emblematic of many other women international thinkers.…”

This article examines the meaning and implications of doing epistemic justice in the study of International Relations through the prism of the recovery of the international thought of Fannie Fern Andrews and Amy Ashwood Garvey and in dialogue with feminist epistemology. It argues that doing epistemic justice involves going beyond restorative justice for excluded voices in which the historical record is set straight, inclusionary justice in which previously excluded voices are added to disciplinary conversations, and transformative justice, in which the perspectives of the marginalised and oppressed become sources of epistemic authority and new knowledge. Over and above all of these things, doing epistemic justice entails practising a particular kind of epistemic collective responsibility, which actively and reflexively recognises and engages with power-laden relations between knowers, worlds and audiences in the production of international thought, then and now.

“…This has found inspiration in previous efforts made by legal historians, historians, and historians of international relations in their own disciplines. 159 Although still in its relative passing on a Western intellectual disciplinary tradition into which incoming generations of international lawyers around the globe, including those across the Asian region, have been and continue to be socialized. Those features evidence the entangled conditions for the survival of the Western classics and amount to the "life jacket" of the Western-dominated historical past of international law in the "oceanic" future of the most global of all legal disciplines.…”

Looking Forward Through and Beyond the Western Classics of International Law

The study of the Western classics of international law with Francisco de Vitoria and Hugo Grotius at its core is the foundational stone on which the whole edifice of today's ever-expanding history of international law was built upon. The article provides a gateway to Vitoria and Grotius's significance for international law and its history by providing a tenfold list of attributes of what makes a classic of international law. It then examines the rise to pre-eminence of the study of the classics of international law and surveys the main methodological responses addressed to correcting the historiographical blind spots and large gaps in legal history that the privileging of these Western “great men” have triggered. The conclusion recaps the importance of looking forward through, but also beyond, the deeply West-centric and male-dominated intellectual canon of international law in an international order the centre of gravity of which is inexorably moving eastwards.
