Alex Fortes complained to me a few years back that none of the major schools of IR theory - realism, liberalism, constructivism - were particularly convincing, that they didn't have the explanatory power for behavior that, say, the Frankfurt School had.
Is this possibly a good thing though? Would IR theories run the risk of overdetermination or weltanschauung if their explanatory powers were made to be "stronger"?
Alternatively, is this simply an irrepressible difference between social science and philosophy?
