Much the same as in some other field of study, the investigation of International Relations has been always advancing through the years as new scientists concoct diverse ideas and thoughts to clarify the progress of International Relations. Beginning from the first open deliberation, taking after to the second debate which has in the end prompted presence of the "Third Debate". The Second civil argument as we know talked about the best conceivable strategy to study the International Relations. The positivist methodology towards International relations relies on upon science and arithmetic and in this way considers experimental evidence as the fundamental base of learning. Nonetheless, with the hypothesis confronting resistance, the Third Debate rose with post-positivists providing a new argument in this regard.
The reading 'Prospects of International Theory in a Post-Positivist Era' was again a work full of abstractions and lingo that was rather difficult to grasp. Lapid contends that in the post-positivist world, accord and unanimity is not as fundamental or imperative rather, the multitudes of perspectives and open deliberations are really sound. Given this position an unbending overall hypothesis is neither obliged nor alluring and the pluralism upheld in this new verbal confrontation is championed by ideas, for example, paradigmatism, perspectivism and relativism. Of the three, the recent two are quite compelling in light of the fact that it is regularly the case that whole hypotheses, for example, Samuel P. Huntington's 'Conflict of Civilizations' are established on uneven suppositions which neglect to recognize the opposite side of the contention being referred to.
As always, Lapid provides an interesting dimension to the study of International Relations as we know it, but as with some scholars that we have seen previously, his ideas are hard to grasp due to the kind of writing style and words used. The structure in his work is impressive, and shows great time and effort has been spent in studying IR in the third debate, However, a more approachable piece with adherence to the acceptance of a greater audience would have contributed greatly to the study he is trying to underscore.
