ABSTRACT
I have also made an effort to show that where and by whom it has been undertaken has also had important consequences for the nature of what has been made.
The movement in the intellectual center-of-gravity of the field, so to speak, from pre-World War I Germany to the contemporary Britain and the United States has undoubtedly affected the shift away from an exclusive focus on the geography of statehood. The increased recruitment of people into the field from a wide range of social, national, gender, sexual, and ethnic backgrounds has also undoubtedly widened the empirical scope and theoretical range of the field.
