Pioneering a hermeneutic methodology for analyses of global governance, this is the first monograph that makes Hans-Georg Gadamer's and Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic philosophy relevant for global politics research. Drawing on the concept of horizon as the element that captures the dynamics of understanding in social interaction in order to analyse processes of international politics, this book shows that what is required is the embeddedness of meanings and ideas in human action and reflection. By advancing theory-building with regard to particular questions of global governance, it reconceptualises international relations as politics among people. Providing a contextualised constructivist approach that highlights the importance of processes to which people are central, it challenges the use of collective concepts such as state and nation as units of analysis which continue to dominate international relations but which cloud the details of interaction processes.
