| Résumé: | "This book aims to provide a general analysis of social practices in order to advance our understanding of contemporary practices in international relations. Recently, the discipline of International Relations (IR) has experienced a 'turn' to practice, associated with Emanuel Adler and Vincent Pouliot and inspired by social theorists such as Theodore Schatzki and especially French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. A central premise underlying such sociological investigations is that practices represent doing or actions, including patterned actions carried out by a multitude of agents. In what follows, we do not elaborate on this sociological approach to practices but, develop an independent account, a philosophical one, that is fundamentally critical of it. While our account owes much to H.L.A. Hart and John Rawls, it is above all indebted to G.W.F. Hegel, the Hegelian philosopher Michael Oakeshott, and the late Ludwig Wittgenstein. Each of these three thinkers considered individually has been discussed within IR, but in this study we have reworked and integrated their ideas into a coherent conceptual position for making sense of practices which we call practice theory. The theory is expounded in Part One and Part Two extends it to the sphere of international practices, hence the book's title, Practice Theory and International Relations"-- |
