“…Yet, they distance themselves from the rational actor models of methodological individualism (Goldstein and Keohane :7). Studies, for example, analyze the shared effects that “experience” has on political actors in collective decision making (Hafner‐Burton, Hughes, and Victor ) or draw on cognitive psychology to explain the link between personality profile and leadership style of world leaders (Steinberg ) or the mental schemes of terrorists (Crenshaw ).…”

The core claims of the practice turn in International Relations (IR) remain ambiguous. What promises does international practice theory hold for the field? How does the kind of theorizing it produces differ from existing perspectives? What kind of research agenda does it produce? This article addresses these questions. Drawing on the work of Andreas Reckwitz, we show that practice approaches entail a distinctive view on the drivers of social relations. Practice theories argue against individualistic‐interest and norm‐based actor models. They situate knowledge in practice rather than “mental frames” or “discourse.” Practice approaches focus on how groups perform their practical activities in world politics to renew and reproduce social order. They therefore overcome familiar dualisms—agents and structures, subjects and objects, and ideational and material—that plague IR theory. Practice theories are a heterogeneous family, but, as we argue, share a range of core commitments. Realizing the promise of the practice turn requires considering the full spectrum of its approaches. However, the field primarily draws on trajectories in international practice theory that emphasize reproduction and hierarchies. It should pay greater attention to practice approaches rooted in pragmatism and that emphasize contingency and change. We conclude with an outline of core challenges that the future agenda of international practice theory must tackle.

“…However, the existing research largely analyzes leadership and entrepreneurship separately. On the one hand, social psychology focuses on leadership styles (Steinberg 2005;Walumbwa 2008) and, on the other, entrepreneurship as a new firm creation process is analyzed from different perspectives -economic, psychological, sociocultural, etc. (Veciana and Urbano 2008;Jennings et al 2013;Stenholm et al 2013;Thornton et al 2011;Yu et al 2013).…”
