In this fascinating and novel edited collection, Piki Ish-Shalom and the contributors interrogate the \u201cconceptions of concepts\u201d in international relations. Using theoretical frameworks from Gramsci and Bourdieu, among others, the authors show that not interrogating the meaning of the language we use to talk about international relations obscures the way we understand (or portray) IR.\u00a0 The authors examine self-determination, winning in war, avoidance of war, military design and reform agenda, vagueness in political discourse, \u201cblue economy,\u201d friendship, and finally, the very idea of the \u201cinternational community\u201d itself. As the author asserts, Bourdieu\u2019s sociology of field and Gramsci\u2019s political theory, combined, \u201coffer us a socio-political theory of relations of power and domination concealed by doxic knowledge and taken-for-granted rules, in which essential contested concepts and political-serving conceptions can and do play an important role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.press.umich.edu\/11719182\/concepts_at_work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More about this publication.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In: Ish-Shalom, Piki (ed.): Concepts at Work: On the Linguistic Infrastructure of World Politics, Ann Arbor, MI: University of Michigan Press, 24-42.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publication","category-publication-frontpage"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
