Focusing on cognitive evolution, the book presents a social and normative theory of world ordering based on constructivist theory and community practices. It delves into how configurations of practices shape and regulate social orders both epistemically and normatively, detailing the processes through which these social orders transition and evolve.

The book explores the dynamics between developing nations and multinational corporations, particularly in high technology, questioning whether dependence is a permanent state or can be strategically managed. Through a comparative analysis of Argentina and Brazil, Adler highlights effective governmental policies for achieving autonomous technological development. He argues that the role of intellectual and technological elites is crucial in shaping the success of these policies, offering a significant counterpoint to prevailing structural theories in international relations.

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.

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.
