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.
