Abstrakcja nierównego i połączonego rozwoju w wyjaśnianiu historii stosunków międzynarodowych
Abstraction of uneven and combined development in the explanation of the history of international relations

Summary/Abstract: What is the status of Trotsky’s notion of uneven and combined development within theory of international relations, historical sociology and history of international relations? How might it be fruitfully employed in theory and history of international relations? &is article examines the internal relations of „unevenness” and „combination” as presented by Trotsky, Novack and Mandel and reworked by Rosenberg. We focus on the analysis of status of notion of uneven and combined development as a transhistorical general abstraction. &is article accepts Justin Rosenberg’s recently drawn conclusion that uneven and combined development is usefully understood as a transhistoric general abstraction that potentially offers the basis of a transhistoric theory of the „international” and possibility a new interpretation of history of international relations.
