In this article the research problem is connected to relations between the change of international reality on the one hand, and the science of international relations, its theory, methodology and the terminology, on the other. International relations under conditions of globalization processes are subject to a radical, qualitative change encapsulated in the formula of the late‑Westphalia order. Meanwhile theories of international relations, methodology of examining them came into existence in qualitatively other reality called the Westphalia system of international relations. Essential question is whether theories as well as research methods, but also a terminology which rose in conditions and for the purposes of explaining the Westphalia reality, are able to analyse and to explain late‑Westphalia reality? There is an analysis of the influence of the change of international reality, i.e. the subject of the research on applied theories, methodology and the terminology. In the methodological meaning the change of international relations is treated as an independent variable, and the change of the theory, methodology and the terminology is a dependent variable. The hypothesis is subjected to the verification, according to which a pluralism and hybrydity of the late‑Westphalia order is accompanied by a pluralism and an eclecticism of theories and research methods within the science of international relations. For the need of analysis of the taken research problem – what is also finding expression in the title of article – it has been acknowledged that talking about the research space is more justified, than about border disciplines. It has been acknowledged that the research space of international relations as the discipline has multi‑layered structure composed of the subject of the research, theories, methodological assumptions and methods, and language of discipline. These four elements determine the structure of the identity of the international relations as the discipline. The analysis has been focused on changing ontology of international relations and its impact on epistemology, methodology and terminology.

Цель статьи - представить истоки и эволюцию «региональных исследований» от межвоенного периода до конца холодной войны. Статья построена на исследовательском предположении, что регионоведение на протяжении анализируемого периода развивалось в тесной связи с исследованиями международных отношений, достигнув статуса субдисциплины науки о международных отношениях. Регионоведение является субдисциплиной науки о международных отношениях, поскольку занимается международными отношениями в данном регионе (региональной системе), что, согласно принятой систематике области исследования дисциплины, является промежуточным уровнем анализа между государством и глобальной системой. Таким образом, вполне естественным кажется вопрос о том, какие предпосылки и предположения были основой для взаимозависимого развития исследований регионализма и международных отношений, которое привело к формированию регионоведения как субдисциплины науки о международных отношениях? Пытаясь ответить на этот вопрос, можно сформулировать следующую гипотезу: регионоведение как субдисциплина науки о международных отношениях было создано в результате стремлений исследователей международных отношений, направленных на поиск оптимального уровня исследований и теоретизирования, сочетающих точку зрения государства и его внешнюю политику, и перспективу всей международной системы. Это также было проявлением желания углубить исследования, подразумеваемые как формулировка полностью проверяемых теорий, основанных на более доступных эмпирических данных на уровне региональной подсистемы.

The aim of the article is to present the genesis and evolution of regional studies, starting from the interwar period until the end of the Cold War. It is based on the research assumption that regional studies throughout the analyzed period developed in close connection with the studies of international relations, reaching the status of a subdiscipline of international relations science. “Regional studies” are a sub-discipline of studies of international relations because their subject matter is international relations in a given region (regional system), which, according to the adopted systematics of the discipline’s research area, is an intermediate level of analysis between the state and the global system. Therefore, it is natural to ask what premises and assumptions were the basis for the interdependent development of research on regionalism and international relations, which led to the formation of “regional studies” as a sub-discipline of studies of international relations? Trying to answer this research question, the following hypothesis can be formulated: “regional studies” as a sub-discipline of studies of international relations was created as a result of the efforts of international relations researchers to find the optimal level of research and theorizing combining the perspective of the state and its foreign policy and the perspective of the entire international system. It was also a manifestation of the desire to deepen the research understood as the formulation of fully verifiable theories based on more available empirical data of the regional subsystem level.
