The studies have investigated on the impact of Pierre Bourdieu on the theories of International
Relations (IR) are still insufficient. This article aims to analyze how Bourdieu can contribute
to the discipline of International Relations. In this context, it will first cover the discussions
on how Bourdieusian analysis has evaluated epistemologic and ontologic problems, it will then
adapt the main ideas and concepts of Bourdieu to the IR. The main thesis of this article is
that Bourdieusian perspectif provides convincing answers to the problems that exist within the
discipline of International Relations at the meta-theoretical level. In otherwise, it argues that
the inter-paradigmatic complementarity is possible within the discipline and the concepts have
developped by Pierre Bourdieu allow to fill the gaps of the mainstreams theories.
