Obecnost i exkluzivita mezinárodní politické sociologie Odpověď Janu Danielovi a Dagmar Rychnovské.

The paper responds to Jan Daniel and Dagmar Rychnovská's article from Mezinárodní vztahy 1/2015, whose aim was to establish International Political Sociology (IPS) as a specific strand within critical security studies. This project is criticised in the paper for three reasons. First, the definition of IPS through common features is so general that most critical research could fit in the IPS category. Second, the attempt to define IPS by negation is grounded in a distorted image of discursive approaches to international politics. Third, the label is deployed in a way that excludes a range of related authors not only from IPS, but even from the 'main currents' of critical security studies. Rather than being an analytical category, IPS is thus more like a political tool through which a distorted and exclusionary image of the discipline is being constructed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
