This book seeks to explain how political actors know how to change, interpret, and apply the rules that comprise rule-based global order. It argues that actors in world politics are simultaneously engaged in an ongoing social practice of rule-making, interpretation and application.
Additional text
If global governance is about rule-making and interpretation, these activities are themselves governed by secondary rules. In one of the most thoughtful constructivist works of recent years, Mark Raymond examines how and why social practices of secondary rule-making have structured global security orders from the Concert of Europe to the campaign against al Qaeda and ongoing efforts to regulate cyberwarfare.
