Résumé
American legal research currently seems characterized by a move to reappraise the theoretical legacy of legal realism. Political scientists are revisiting the ontology of the classical realism of international relations. Yet concrete and applied exchanges between the proponents of these two ‘schools’ or networks have to date received minimal scrutiny. Focusing on the interwar period, this article shows that international realists shared with legal realists a reformist concern for social change, which went well beyond the barriers separating internal and external orders. From a political science perspective, the analysis of this phenomenon hones our understanding of the ontological richness of classical realism.
