Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es examinar las implicaciones del nexo identidad/alteridad en las relaciones internacionales (RI) en relación con los procesos del otro para comprender el conflicto y la violencia en la política global. Ofreceré lo que podría llamar una ontología de la diferencia en la política global, donde enfatizo la dependencia de comprender otras prácticas en la política global, mientras exploro dos casos a partir de los cuales hago las siguientes preguntas: ¿Cómo ocurren los procesos de identidad y de formación de identidad y desarrollarse en diferentes niveles, tiempos y dimensiones? ¿Cómo ayudan los discursos de diferenciación e identificación a construir identidades e intereses estatales? Siguiendo a Emmanuel Lévinas, argumentaré que al buscar formas de alcanzar al Otro, nos liberamos de las restricciones del egoísmo, de la indiferencia y el aislamiento. Encontrar y aceptar una composición del Ser que también incluye al Otro nos permite asumir la responsabilidad de él/ella en la medida en que evita las condiciones de violencia y conflicto.
