What do we know about the Diffusion of the Expert Knowledge in International Politics? The Case of the Knowledge about Human Security and the Epistemic Infrastructure as the New Object of International Politics

Summary/Abstract: The current analysis concentrate on how expert knowledge is diffused in international politics. To find an answer the case study on expert knowledge about human security is offered. The text traces the development and the diffusion of the expert knowledge on human security, trace the agents working on the diffusion process and analyzes the structure and relations in the social system where human security was diffused. I conclude that the expert knowledge on human security led to the emergence of an assemblage – here called epistemic infrastructure – which includes actors, institutions, relational links and practices. The epistemic infrastructure is the links between ideas, their authors, those who diffuse the ideas and the particular social systems where the ideas are diffused. The epistemic infrastructure has the capacity to influence who will gain the knowledge and how the knowledge will be managed, and to structure the international politics and national agendas.
