History and Historiography of International Relations and the First World War (1914-1918): preliminary reflections

Abstract

Abstract: This essay starts from methodological and content-related questions to assert the writing of the History of International Relations without resorting to classical theories. We adopt and work with the actors in this narrative from their perspectives and concepts. This choice allowed for the use of concepts in a process of re-signification to observe how history is revived through routine separation and rapprochement.

Keywords: Conceptual History, Historiography, World War I, International Relations
