Summary
This chapter reviews the historical asymmetric application of restraint across groups based on race, gender, and class. It revisits Elias's Established/Outsider dynamic that illustrates these tensions, as well as the historiographic works of Historical IR scholars regarding the dynamic as it played out in the emerging field of International Relations.
