When Can We Know Practices? Rules, Logics, and Epistemologies of Practice in IR
This article examines who can know practices and under what conditions. While scholarship on the practice turn in International Relations (PTIR) emphasizes the tacit, embodied and pre-reflective qualities of practice, it often relies on interviews and textual accounts that presuppose practitioner reflexivity. This tension has been obscured by conflating two dimensions of practice: the rules that constitute and regulate a practice, and the logic o…
The good and the gold
Why do some displays of gold in diplomacy appear legitimate while others are judged excessive or inauthentic? This article develops a framework for analyzing the moral foundations of diplomatic aesthetics. Drawing on Charles Taylor’s notion of hypergoods and integrating it with practice theory in International Relations, it conceptualizes diplomatic aesthetics as material and visual practices whose legitimacy rests not only on procedural appropri…

To counter the risk of conceptual stretching and provide the foundation for a common research agenda, this article co…

Virtual summitry provided a stark visual contrast to the traditional staging of modern multilateral diplomacy – leaders were suddenly responsible for their own staging, leaving them with new opportunities to create a favourable impression of how they, and their respective stat…

Nevertheless, strong adherence to the coordination reflex and problem‐solving ethos is still prevalent within the political and s…
