Ignored Histories, Neglected Regions: Origins of the Genosocial Order and the Normative Change Reconsidered

Abstract

This chapter tackles the issue of the interplay between Genetic Extrapolation Tests (GETs) and normative structures pertaining to the international politics. I seek to unravel the history behind origins of the GETs and their gradual employment for more efficient allocation of material and social resources to different phylogenetic groups.

By focussing on the pivotal role of the Central European states in these dynamics, the chapter addresses and rectifies the International Relations (IR) discipline's neglect of the region. It further contributes to more general investigations of the role of normative frameworks in international politics, their circulation and adoptions, and how these intersect with sociogenetic technologies.
