In this analytical essay, Tobias Wille aims to advance the debate on trust in International Relations (IR) by clarifying how trust can be understood in practice-theoretical terms. To this end, Wille builds on recent IR scholarship that has shifted from viewing trust as a mental state to viewing it as an active process through which social actors relate to one another\u2014that is, as trusting. To clarify what this shift entails and to initiate a more systematic dialogue between the dynamic yet still largely unconnected literatures on trust in international politics and on international practices, Wille proceeds as follows: first, he surveys how IR scholars have thought about trust thus far; second, he identifies three commitments that give coherence to the emerging practice-theoretical literature on trust, namely, a focus on relations, processes, and agency; and third, he outlines three theoretical options for studying trust in practice-theoretical terms: conceiving of trust as a product of practices, as a background of practices, or as itself a practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
