io-literature-positioning
Use when positioning an International Organization (IO) manuscript against the international-relations literature so it reads as a contribution to an IR debate. IO readers span rationalist, constructivist, institutionalist, IPE, and security traditions, so the paper must engage the IR conversation it speaks to and the closest prior IR work — while staying double-blind. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

# Literature Positioning (io-literature-positioning)
IO is read by international-relations scholars across **paradigms** (rationalist, constructivist,
institutionalist) and **research areas** (IPE, security, institutions). Positioning is therefore about
placing your paper inside a recognizable **IR debate** and showing the move you make in it — not a
citation pile, and not a domestic-politics literature with an IR veneer.
## When to trigger
- Drafting or revising the introduction and the "contribution" paragraph
- A reviewer said you "missed the key IR work" or "don't engage the debate"
- Your case is solid but the paper doesn't connect to a general IR argument
- You need to distinguish your contribution from the closest prior IR papers
