Resumo

Objetivo/contexto: este artigo apresenta debates sobre o conceito de máquinas nomológicas de Nancy Cartwright aplicado à teoria das relações internacionais. O que a síntese neo-neo reivindica como a essência do sistema internacional é um conjunto de condições impostas aos fenômenos internacionais para que estes se encaixem nas próprias teorias. O artigo argumenta que as explicações de lei geral adaptadas pelo neorrealismo e pelo neoliberalismo não são de forma alguma uma representação do mundo como ele é, mas antes uma predicação do mundo como estas teorias querem que ele seja. Metodologia: o artigo revisa criticamente os fundamentos das teorias neo-neo, sugerindo uma metodologia filosófica ao reformular os termos ontológicos do neorrealismo e do neoliberalismo com base no conceito de máquinas nomológicas. Conclusões: este artigo afirma que as teorias neo-neo poderiam se beneficiar de uma abordagem orientada para as capacidades, que oferece uma compreensão menos categórica de como as explicações dos fenômenos internacionais são construídas, permitindo que princípios alternativos forneçam conhecimentos de grande valor sobre o sistema internacional. Originalidade: este artigo inova ao interrelacionar as ideias das máquinas nomológicas com o debate metateórico sobre relações internacionais, possibilitando assim o aprimoramento teórico.

Palavras-chave: nomological machines, philosophy of science, philosophy of IR, IR theory, neo-neo synthesis
