We present an annotation scheme for argumentative and domain-specific aspects
of scholarly articles on the theory of International Relations. At
argumentation level we identify Claims and Support/Attack relations. At domain
level we model discourse content in terms of Theory and Data-related
statements. We annotate Waltz's 1993 text on structural realism and show that
our scheme can be reliably applied by domain experts enables insights on two
research questions on justifications of claims.
