David Mitrany and Functionalism

Being a scholar of International Politics, David Mitrany has both the fortune and misfortune. It is his fortune that we can not ignore his thought when talking about the early construction of European Union. It is his misfortune that his functionalism is simplified to be a theory of economic integration by some scholars without probing into his core of thought. The purposes of this article are to make a complete discussion of David Mitrany and his functionalism and to review some critics with bias made by some scholars. Besides, we can know functionalism deeper by reviewing Mitrany¡¦s attitude toward the two Great Debates in theory of International Relations.
