Practice Theory and International Relations: Cambridge Studies in International Relations, cartea 148

Autor Silviya Lechner, Mervyn Frost
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 aug 2020
Are social practices actions, or institutional frameworks of interaction structured by common rules? How do social practices such as signing a cheque differ from international practices such as signing a peace treaty? Traversing the fields of international relations (IR) and philosophy, this book defends an institutionalist conception of practices as part of a general practice theory indebted to Oakeshott, Wittgenstein and Hegel. The proposed practice theory has two core aspects: practice internalism and normative descriptivism. In developing a philosophical analysis of social practices that has a special relevance for international relations, Silviya Lechner and Mervyn Frost depart from Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of practice that dominates the current 'practice turn' in IR. The authors show that the contemporary global realm is constituted by two distinct macro practices - the practice of sovereign states and that of global rights.

Recenzii

'Lechner and Frost propose a genuinely novel way to advance practice theory in international relations (IR) theory by taking normativity into account. Based on careful scrutiny, the enterprise is conducted in a most succinct, elaborate and refreshingly accessible way. The result is a giant theoretical advance for IR theory. The book's value-added consists in developing a theoretical framework which successfully links practice and normativity. The book's advancement is largely due to first, distinguishing micro- and macro-practices and explaining why this matters, and second, theorising the internal and external meanings of practices, thereby offering a conceptual access point for socially constructed, societally or constitutionally constituted and politically challenged normativity. The book is of outstanding quality and highly recommended for students of international relations in political science, law and sociology.' Antje Wiener, Chair in Political Science, University of Hamburg
'A practice is not just a bunch of related activities. Rightly holding that a practice is a framework of rules, an institution, Lechner and Frost turn the practice turn on its head. And they do so with a philosophical sophistication all too rare in international relations.' Nicholas Onuf, author of Nations, Markets, and War and International Legal Theory
'Lechner and Frost's new book is a real contribution not only to the ongoing debate in international relations, which has discovered the 'practice turn' quite late, but also in giving the old controversies about explaining and understanding, structures and action, and micro versus macro analysis, a new direction. Its incisive and jargon-free treatment of the conceptual issues underlying social action and the reproduction of the social world will be read with profit by anyone in the social sciences and humanities. A great and 'must' read!' Friedrich Kratochwil, author of Rules, Norms and Decisions, The Puzzles of Politics and The Status of Law in World Society
“This is a challenging alternative metatheory of politics as social practice - a fresh perspective that is sorely needed. Lechner and Frost describe how reflective human beings construct our shared social reality. We make our social world by participating in, understanding and (re)defining the meanings that constitute diverse normative domains - practices.' Neta C. Crawford, Boston University
'Lechner's and Frost's account of 'practice' offers a challenge to predominant exponents of the 'practice turn' in international relations. This book will be required reading for all those who see the idea of practice as foundational for the understanding of international politics.' Kimberly Hutchings, Queen Mary University of London
