- More about Praxis as a Perspective on International Politics
The book explores praxis as a perspective on international politics and law, aiming to overcome the divide between knowing and acting in positivist International Relations theory. It builds on Friedrich Kratochwil's transdisciplinary work and offers insights into the scope, limits, and blind spots of praxis theorizing.

The study of International Relations (IR) has long been dominated by positivist theories that emphasize the importance of knowing and acting in the world. However, a growing number of scholars are now turning to the praxis approach, which emphasizes competent judgements and the ability to act effectively in the world. This collection brings together leading figures in the study of IR to explore the praxis approach and its potential to overcome the divide between knowing and acting that marks positivist IR theory.
The book is based on the transdisciplinary work of Friedrich Kratochwil, who has been a key figure in the development of the praxis approach. Kratochwil's concluding chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the scope, limits, and blind spots of praxis theorizing.
For anyone involved in international politics, this book is an important contribution to the reconciliation of theory and practice. It provides a clear and concise explanation of the praxis approach and its implications for IR theory and practice.
EPDFs of Chapters 1, 4, 9, 13, 15, and 16 are available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence, making it accessible to a wide range of readers.
In conclusion, the study of International Relations has been transformed by the praxis approach, which emphasizes competent judgements and the ability to act effectively in the world. This collection brings together leading figures in the study of IR to explore the praxis approach and its potential to overcome the divide between knowing and acting that marks positivist IR theory. It is an important contribution to the reconciliation of theory and practice and an inspiration for future research.
