Prevalent conflict theories explain the emergence and resolution of conflicts by resorting to actors’ mutually incompatible preferences and differential access to economic, social or symbolic sources of power. World polity theory challenges fundamental assumptions of such theories by conceptualizing action as highly scripted and actors as culturally constituted. By focusing on the cultural rules of modern actorhood, world polity theory accounts for the emergence of new motives of conflict no less than for the diffusion of ‘rational’ methods of conflict resolution. It concludes by arguing that theoretical explication and empirical analysis of the hitherto neglected conflictive dimensions of the world polity approach is a fruitful agenda for conflict research and neoinstitutional scholars alike."],["dc.fs.externid","880170"],["dc.fs.pkfprnr","19270"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1177/0001699310392600"],["dc.identifier.fs","581567"],["dc.identifier.gro","3146955"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/8576"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/93415"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes","This publication is with permission of the rights owner freely accessible due to an Alliance licence and a national licence (funded by the DFG, German Research Foundation) respectively."],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","SAGE Publications"],["dc.publisher.place","London"],["dc.relation.issn","1502-3869"],["dc.relation.issn","0001-6993"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.subject","conflict; conflict resolution; institutionalism; world polity"],["dc.title","Conflict in the world polity - neo-institutional perspectives"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
