About the blog

The International Relations Reading Group is a group of scholars brought together by a shared interest in the discipline of International Relations. We meet regularly to discuss classic and contemporary papers in the field of IR. The intent of the group is to build and strengthen the IR community at Tampere University (and beyond). The group was initiated as a venue for doctoral researchers to deepen their understanding of the discipline, but we also welcome scholars at other stages to join the discussions. Readings are selected as a group, covering a range of topics — theoretical, methodological as well as empirical.

This blog is a joint contribution by all the members of the International Relations Reading Group.
