It argues that security studies in any form has not adequately addressed the phenomenon of war and that IR (International Relations) more generally reduces war to an effect of the states system. An analysis of inquiry into the Second World War highlights these points, while the Vietnam War is mobilised to show how the study of war can refigure our understanding of the international as a distinct social space. The conclusion suggests a new critical research agenda centred on politics, force, and war.
