CEVAP:

IR scholars accept that International Relations (IR) discipline is shaped by two dimensions: The first one is positivist/rational dimension that covers main stream theories of (neo)/realism and (neo)/ liberalism which take their sources from the nature through observation and by testing this information. The second dimension includes critical, reflectivist, post-positivist and post-structural theories that critically stand against positivist/rational theories on the basis of their arguments excluding subjective and interpretivist knowledge.
