ABSTRACT
Multidisciplinarity is in academic fashion in the study of international politics. Cutting-edge scholars are meant to navigate effortlessly between different traditions of inquiry; grant agencies call for innovative inter-/cross-/pluri-disciplinary teams to solve key puzzles; academic hiring and promotion procedures are meant to reward those who dare to venture beyond safe disciplinary routes. Everybody pushes. Nobody objects. The reward is more innovative research and more accurate insights into political challenges in the realm of the international.
