Notes

  1. See, for instance (Adler 2005; Frost 2009; Neumann 2002; Pouliot 2010) and the programmes of just about all major international relations conferences over the last 2 years. Vincent Pouliot and Emmanuel Adler’s forthcoming edited collection on International Practices (Cambridge, 2011) promises to showcase the state of the art in the practice turn.

  2. Cornelia Navari’s recent work sorts through these influences and considers their implications (Navari 2010a; 2010b). The Introduction to Vincent Pouliot and Emmanuel Adler’s edited collection on ‘International Practices’ (Cambridge, 2011) acknowledges that there is no single theory of practice, but rather a variety of theories which focus on practice.
