kansainvälinen anarkia, rakenteellinen realismi, kansainvälinen järjestelmä, historiografia, systeemiteoriaAbstrakti
Rakenteellinen anarkia viittaa tilanteeseen, jossa kansainvälisestä järjestelmästä puuttuu keskitetty, järjestystä tuottava auktoriteetti. Tämä artikkeli tarkastelee, miten kansainvälisen anarkian käsite on rakenteellisessa merkityksessään ymmärretty kansainvälisen politiikan klassikoissa ennen toista maailmansotaa ja sen aikana. Artikkeli esittää, että näillä varhaisilla muotoiluilla on ollut suurempi merkitys myöhemmälle teorialle kuin yleensä tunnustetaan. Hyödyntäen Michael Freedenin ja Felix Berenskoetterin käsiteanalyysimalleja artikkeli analysoi, millaisia käsitteellisiä verkkoja rakenteellisen anarkian ympärille on rakennettu. Artikkelin argumentti on, että Kenneth Waltzin Theory of International Politics -teoksessa esitetty anarkian vaikutusvaltainen muotoilu on merkittävässä määrin velkaa Goldsworthy Dickinsonin aiemmalle muotoilulle. Näin artikkeli tarjoaa historiografisen uudelleentulkinnan kansainvälisen politiikan keskeisen peruskäsitteen kehityksestä.
