TL;DR: Burchill and Linklater as discussed by the authors argue that to study "security" would require the study of everything, a fact which would translate as a thoroughly unfocused study of nothing in particular, and propose to handle this fact by ignoring it.
Abstract: 161 1 Hedley Bull, ‘The Theory of International Politics, 1919–1969,’ in Brian Porter (ed.), The Aberystwyth Papers: International Politics, 1919–1969 (London, 1972), p. 39. 2 The scholarly literature on ‘realism’, now generally termed ‘classical realism’—with its modern devotees, such as this author, called neoclassical realists—‘neorealism,’ ‘structural realism’ (and one day soon, perhaps, neoclassical poststructural realism), is as large as it is largely aridly academic in a pejorative sense. For those inclined to intellectual masochism, I can recommend Kenneth W. Thompson, Masters of International Thought: Major Twentieth-Century Theorists and the World Crisis (Baton Rouge, LA, 1980); Robert O. Keohane (ed.), Neorealism and Its Critics (New York, 1986); Barry Buzan, Charles Jones, and Richard Little, The Logic of Anarchy: Neorealism to Structural Realism (New York, 1993); Benjamin Frankel (ed.), ‘Roots of Realism’, Security Studies, 5, special issue (1995); idem (ed.), ‘Realism: Restatements and Renewal’, Security Studies, 5, special issue (1996); Scott Burchill, ‘Realism and Neo-Realism’, in Burchill and Andrew Linklater (eds.), Theories of International Relations (London, 1996), pp. 67–92; and Stefano Guzzini, Realism in International Relations and International Political Economy (London, 1998). These few references are merely the tip of a mighty iceberg of professional activity. For an ‘approach’ to international relations long condemned by the cognoscenti as simplistic and theoretically severely challenged, ‘realism’ seems able to attract an endless succession of firing squads. Contemporary theorists of international relations are still looking for that stake to the heart that definitively would dispatch ‘realism’. 3 You know you are in trouble as a scholar when an issue as apparently mundane as the day-by-day working title of your field is widely contested. Each and every title to my field, and subfield, carries some unhelpful baggage. I propose to handle this fact by ignoring it. The text refers to international relations, international politics, international studies, and world politics, without fear, special favour, or subtextual meaning. With respect to my particular corner of the broad field just indicated, I am more particular. Reference in my text to ‘strategic’ studies, theory, or history, indicates matter connected quite directly to the threat or use of force. From time to time, to indicate my liberality of spirit and genuinely holistic perspective upon the subjects that concern me, I refer to ‘security’ studies. For the record, however, I would like to register a vote for the position that the concept of ‘security’ studies is unmanageably inclusive. To study ‘security’ would require the study of everything, a fact which would translate as a thoroughly unfocused study of nothing in particular. Clausewitz rules, OK?
