Abstract

In this chapter, we spell out what we mean by reconstruction. The purpose of reconstructing the theoretical traditions including their main characteristics, origins and trajectories as they have evolved in Europe in the twentieth century is threefold: providing concise accounts of broad lines of development and major changes and continuities over time within and of each tradition; introducing main figures who represent and nurture a given tradition, and who reproduce and transform it in specific political, historical and intellectual contexts, to make visible, to define and to strengthen the identity of the European IR community; and thereby identifying the European flavours of each tradition.
