This article considers the status of genealogy among research methods currently
taught, learned and used in International Relations (IR). The article makes two claims. The
first is that genealogy is a unique research tool, but not radically different from the rest of
the qualitative-interpretative arsenal more commonly found in the discipline. The second is
that genealogy can be used in the pursuit of epistemologically varied truth-claims, including
those regarding causal connections.
