International Practice Theory is the definitive introduction to the practice turn in world
politics providing an accessible up-to-date guide to the approaches concepts methodologies
and methods of the subject. Situating the study of practices in contemporary theory and
reviewing approaches ranging from Bourdieu's praxeology and communities of practice to
actor-network theory and pragmatic sociology it documents how they can be used to study
international practices empirically. The book features a discussion of how scholars can
navigate ontological challenges such as order and change micro and macro bodies and objects
