In Emanuel Adler's distinctive constructivist approach to
international relations theory, international practices evolve in
tandem with collective knowledge of the material and social worlds.
This book - comprising a fresh selection of his journal
publications, a substantial new introduction, three previously
unpublished articles - points IR constructivism in a novel
direction, characterized as 'communitarian'. Adler's synthesis does
not herald the end of the nation-state; nor does it suggest that
agency is unimportant in international life. Rather, it argues that
what mediates between individual and state agency and social
structures are communities of practice, which are the wellspring
and repositories of collective meanings and social practices. The
concept of communities of practice casts new light on epistemic
communities and security communities, helping to explain why
certain ideas congeal into human practices and others do not, and
which social mechanisms can facilitate the emergence of normatively
better communities.
Since independence, Israel has lived with a paradox, needing and
seeking legitimacy, understanding, and empathy from the world
community while simultaneously also discounting the world. This
volume reflects upon Israel's troubled attempts to balance its
desire to be different from a world that it simultaneously
genuinely needs and that it also wants to be a legitimate member
of. Gathering distinguished scholars and public figures, this
timely book discusses the causes and consequences of Israel's
unsettled relations with the world. With essays ranging from an
account of Israel's exile mentality and the cosmopolitanism of
suffering to a fragmenting international legal order and whether an
authentic religious process can transform religion into a powerful
lever for peace, the book's innovative analysis will spark both
academic and public debate. Israel in the World: Legitimacy and
Exceptionalism will appeal to scholars and students with broad
ranging research interests including Middle East Studies, Israeli
Studies and international relations more generally.
It is in and through practices - deeds that embody shared
intersubjective knowledge - that social life is organized, that
subjectivities are constituted and that history unfolds. One can
think of dozens of different practices (from balancing, to banking
or networking) which constitute the social fabric of world
politics. This book brings together leading scholars in fields from
international law and humanitarianism to nuclear deterrence and the
UN to provide effective new tools to understand a range of pressing
issues of the era of globalization. As an entry point to the study
of world politics, the concept of practice accommodates a variety
of perspectives in a coherent yet flexible fashion and opens the
door to much needed interdisciplinary research in international
relations. International Practices crystallizes the authors' past
research on international practices into a common effort to turn
the study of practice into a novel research program in
international relations.

Drawing on evolutionary epistemology, process ontology, and a
social-cognition approach, this book suggests cognitive evolution,
an evolutionary-constructivist social and normative theory of
change and stability of international social orders. It argues that
practices and their background knowledge survive preferentially,
communities of practice serve as their vehicle, and social orders
evolve. As an evolutionary theory of world ordering, which does not
borrow from the natural sciences, it explains why certain
configurations of practices organize and govern social orders
epistemically and normatively, and why and how these configurations
evolve from one social order to another. Suggesting a multiple and
overlapping international social orders' approach, the book uses
three running cases of contested orders - Europe's contemporary
social order, the cyberspace order, and the corporate order - to
illustrate the theory. Based on the concepts of common humanity and
epistemological security, the author also submits a normative
theory of better practices and of bounded progress.
This book argues that community can exist at the international level, and that states dwelling within an international community have the capacity to develop a pacific disposition. The contributors provide an exhaustive regional and historical survey of places where states have come to expect peace, where they are working to foster such expectations, and where peace is hoped for rather than expected. This volume is an important contribution to international relations theory and security studies, providing a new vision of the possibilities for peaceful relations among states.

In this prodigiously researched book, Emanuel Adler addresses the
hotly contested issue of how developing nations can emerge from the
economic and technological tutelage of the developed world. Is the
dependence of Third World countries on multinational
corporations-especially in the realm of high technology-a permanent
fixture of an inherently unequal relationship? Or can it be managed
by the developing nations for their benefit? By a masterful
comparative study of the development of science and technology in
Argentina and Brazil, the author discusses governmental policies
that are effective in attaining autonomous technological
development. Professor Adler provides a useful corrective to the
structural theories of development that have up to now prevailed in
the study of international relations by demonstrating that
intellectual and technological elites play a far more significant
role in the success or failure of such governmental policies than
has hitherto been recognized. This title is part of UC Press's
Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California
Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and
give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to
1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1988.

The authors put forward their own concept for the interpretation of
international relations, describing how progress occurs not
necessarily out of moral development, but by the desire of
nation-states to redefine their national interests in terms of
security, welfare and human rights.
