Friendship and International Order: An Ambiguous Liaison

  • Chapter

Abstract

To speak of international order entails engaging in rich and very diverse debates and visions of what international order is and what sorts of functions it may perform. Nicholas Rengger (2000, pp. 22–25) recently classified the range of responses to the problem of order from various subfields of International Relations (IR) into two broad ‘families’: the first ‘managerial’ family is primarily concerned either with maintaining, restoring, or improving the existing order; the second family holds the problem of order in its current version irresolvable and questions the present shapes and manifestations of the political. The ‘managerial’ response to the problem of order implies that value is inherently attached to the idea of having an order. For this reason it also involves a normative dimension indicating what a particular social grouping considers as desirable and worth achieving.
