Most-cited papers in International Theory

International practices

Emanuel Adler, Vincent Pouliot · 18 Feb 2011

In this article, we approach world politics through the lens of its manifold practices, which we define as competent performances. Studying International Relations (IR) from the perspective of international practices promises three key advances.

Cases exhibit significant variation both in the combinations of actor classes entitled to participate and the nature of authority relations among…

Feeling like a state: social emotion and identity

Jonathan Mercer · 9 Oct 2014

Can one use emotion at anything other than the individual level of analysis? Emotion happens in biological bodies, not in the space between them, and this implies that group emotion is nothing but a collection of individuals experiencing the same emotion. This article contends that group-level emotion is powerful, pervasive, and irreducible to individuals. People…
