Pondering dramatic endings, probing possible beginnings; or doing politics as usual? : (review essay)

Astrov, Alexander (author)

What is the status of politics in International Relations (IR)? Is it a manifold of political activities in the world or a single activity of orderingthe world? What is the relation between world-order and world-politics? The article examines three recent contributions to various approaches within IR and highlights the distinction, implicitly present in them all, between the activities of world-governing and world-politics. Further, it is suggested that the question of politics constitutes the Outside of contemporary IR, an explicit engagement which, by going beyond IR towards International Political Theory, is both necessary and inevitable

Abstract

Kakšen je položaj politike v mednarodnih odnosih kot znanstveni disciplini? Ali gre za različne politične dejavnosti ali za eno samo, ki ureja svet? Kakšen je odnos med svetovnim redom in svetovno politiko? Članek obravnava tri novejše prispevke o različnih pristopih v mednarodnih odnosih in opozarja na implicitne razlike v vseh treh, tj. razlike med upravljanjem sveta in svetovno politiko. Nadalje predlaga, da vprašanje politike določa tisto, kar je zunanje mednarodnim odnosom kot znanstveni disciplini. Ob preseganju meja znanstvenih disciplin, kot sta mednarodni odnosi ter mednarodna politična teorija, pa je ukvarjanje z zunanjim tako nujno kot tudi neizbežno.
