Why is it important?
Based on our review of theories within the disciplinary framework of the sociology of emotions, we begin to draw contours of a distinctly sociological platform for the purpose of productive exchange with the field of international relations on the emotional aspects of social order. We summarize our considerations in the form of guidelines bearing importance on restitution of social order in failing states.
Perspectives
I do believe that social order can only be reconstructed or restored by going to its roots: the arousal of positive emotions among individuals in interaction in local groupings. I also believe that in this article we have provided at least some food for thought on how the efforts at the restitution of order could be made more productive by taking this into account.
