This article aims to criticize classical international relations theories in regard to issues of internality

and externality, ahistoricism, and asociologism within the scope of historical sociology. In doing so, the

article will address the uneven and combined development approach. An analysis of Turkey’s integration

to world capitalism between the 1940s and the 1960s will serve as a case study for this critique. The article

will employ a Marxist method with a historical analysis. The article claims that historical sociology

takes up international relations by embedding it in societies’ historical contexts and structures. Within

this framework, the uneven and combined development approach provides a significant dimension to

understanding the social interactions between the domestic and the international structures within

historical processes. Particularly, combined development, which connotes the amalgam of modern

and backward forms of production, helps us to overcome the separation between the national and the

international. For this reason, the article claims that Turkey’s incorporation into capitalism after WWII

contains significant dynamics of combined development (economic, political, and sociological) in both

intra – and inter-state levels. Specifically, Turkey’s technology transfer after the war in terms of new

class dynamics emerges as a significant mechanism of combined development.
