Onecanthinkofdozensofdifferentpractices(frombalancingtobankingornetwork-
ing)whichconstitutethesocialfabricofworldpolitics.Asanentrypointtothestudyof
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. Thanks to the practice lens, the book organizes
a productive dialogue among leading scholars from different theoretical traditions
and whose works span various subfields ranging from International Law and
Humanitarianism to nuclear deterrence and the United Nations. International
Practicescrystallizestheauthors’pastresearchoninternationalpracticesintoacommon
effort to turn the study of practice into a novel research program in International
Relations.
