| description | The focus of this research is a speech act theory of one of the most influential social constructivists - Nicholas Onuf. After a review of the most important premises about the rules, as a central concept to his approach (consequently, including the conditions of rule), the author attempts to represent the role and the significance that performative language has in international relations field, as much as in social relations in general. A central part of this paper is about speech act theory as an inclusive set of categories of the rules (instructive, directive and commissive), implications of the rules on the agency, and observed connection with legality of the international system. Eventually, the author made conclusions on contribution and possibilities of implementation in practice of the Onuf's speech act theory, primarily as an analytical tool for the research in security studies, and also eminent flaws, with the suggestions in order to overcome them. In conclusion, it appears that the potential contribution of Onuf's approach to this theme in security studies, and also to international relations, is extremely significant, but there is a need for further elaboration and emendation so that his theoretical position could have larger explanatory power for implementation. |
