Abstract
Two elements have been put forward so far to underscore how international studies should proceed if it intends to give an accurate account of the way in which the “rise of the rest” is transforming global politics. The first element was the necessity of developing a more detailed understanding of the relationship between violence, agency, and rationality in situations of endemic violent conflict. The second element was the need to set in place a more nuanced analysis of the nexus connecting the nature of violence, that of the state, and that of the international realm, throughout the world.

Notes
Liberalism was described earlier as the great Other in international studies, in opposition to realism, through a reference to Tim Dunne’s description of the liberal worldview as the “historical alternative” in the evolution of the field.
