• Introduction: Two Minutes to Midnight Part One: Timing Theory and International Relations 1: Timing: The Basic Framework 2: Why Timing Matters 3: Telling Time: A Theory of Narrative Timing Part Two: Varieties of Timing in International Relations 4: Disciplinary History: Timing Crises in International Relations 5: Methodologies: Narrative Reasoning about a Time-bound World 6: Quantitative Approaches: Mathematical Metaphors for Eternity 7: Historical Institutionalism: From Pathological to Temporal Institutions 8: Critical Approaches: Past Times, Fast Times, and the Rapture of Rupture Conclusion: Retiming and Reclaiming International Relations

IR theorists have only recently begun to engage deliberately with the fact that world politics takes place in time as well as space. Hom's International Relations and the Problem of Time shows what we can achieve by applying social theory to this challenge. Swapping Saint Augustine for Norbert Elias, it employs the concept of timing to map the temporal dimensions of IR theorizing. In so doing, it reveals what makes IR theory tick.
