International life of things. Introduction
Abstract
The main goal of this article isintroduction to the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to
raise questions about its role in International Relations. While concepts of ANT are
very promising we propose to treat ANT as a new theoretical model for international
relations scholarship. ANT argues us to recognize that such things as currency, weapons,
computers, ships, silk, and others objects are inherent part of international relations.
The interest of ANT in International Relations reflects a growing dissatisfaction
with the cultural reductionism (constructivism) and methodological nationalism. ANT
abandons the dichotomy between the idea and material and argue that such dualisms
might prevent us from understanding of international relations. Rejecting this dualisms
is to argue for ontological multiplicity of international relations. We initiating in polish
International Relations what we hope will be example to bring ANT and International
Relations into conversation.
