Abstract

The purpose of this article is to assess the possibility of building a joint discipline between Law and International Relations. Initially, we highlight the dilemmas and challenges of an eventual interdisciplinary fusion. We next consider the possibilities and prospects of a dialogue between the two areas. At the end, we investigate the method applied to the study of Law and International Relations. We found that epistemological and methodological obstacles prevent a complete integration between Law and International Relations. However, in order to investigate the influence of international norms on the behavior of international actors, a new empirical field for International Law is being uncovered, from the application of Social Sciences’ methods and the revision of international relations theory. We should not seek a general theory of International Law and International Relations, but a collaborative research agenda, based on a common vocabulary between the two disciplines.
